Le Caselle Chianti 2007
Think of Ferragamo shoes, Gucci bags, Ferraris – anything stylish and sleek and the Italians probably invented it. Good Chianti smells like that – stylish and sleek. The fruit hangs on perfect structure and acidity – in this case dark plums and black cherry with a bit of dried herb to spice things up. And there’s still plenty of fruit on the finish and lift to carry your meal. You know the desert island question – if you could only have one wine? It would be a chianti.

Food Pairings
Seriously anything tomatoey sings with Sangiovese, pizza and pasta to be sure. Sausages, chicken, gazpacho. Bread salad.
