Long gone are the days of your Chianti coming complete with a wicker basket wrapped around the bottle (they’re called ‘fiascoe’s’ btw) Thankfully today Chianti is much classier. Crafted from 100% sangiovese fruit, this light, supple, cherry and berry bang of a wine has powdery, clinging tannins and an earthy undercurrent that I really like. This Tuscan taste sensation is light, lithe and less in-your-face than many Chianti, therefore it’s gorgeous with duck breasts slathered in plum salsa.
