A RED TO IMPRESS

“Wine lovers should dig their heads into the terroirs of Chianti like they do in Burgundy. The terroir and winemaking is quite varied, and drinkers will be astounded by tasting some terrific Sangiovese, like this traditional rendition (Montenidoli Il Garrulo Chianti 2013, Tuscany, Italy; B1,100), which still uses white grapes in the blend. Earthy, tannic, rustic — yet this so-called ‘tomato wine’ is ideal for all pasta and meat dishes.”
