Natalie's Score: 90/100

Full-bodied and mouth-watering chianti, with black tart fruit, smoke, dried and earth aromas. This robust red wine is made from Sangiovese grapes and offers mouth-watering juiciness and a satisfying finish. Pair with a pepper steak.

Chianti Classico food pairings: roast beef, pasta with meat sauce, char-grilled sausages, steak topped pizza.

Lots of tannin and acidity on this full-bodied Italian red wine. The vines are planted 400 metres above sea level. - Community Wine Reviews
