2018 Conti Capponi 'Villa Calcinaia' Chianti Classico

From: Tuscany, Italy Varietal: Sangiovese Tasting Notes: The color of the wine is ruby red with garnet shadings; a fruity flavor with traces of cherry and ripe fruit.

Pairing: Chianti Classico pairs best with meaty, tomato-sauce-based Italian dishes like Spaghetti and Meatballs, Lasagna, Chicken Parmesan, Baked Ziti, Pizza, and Bruschetta. Is anyone else craving meatballs?? We love Melissa Clark’s recipe for Meatball Parmesean.
