Day 38 of MCO.
After the deflating Barbaresco experience (see Barolo thread), we reverted back to our comfort zone, Chianti.
Like the Felsina, Fontodi and the Querceto, Lamole di Lamole is a staple for us. Reliably delivers every time.
Straight from the bottle as the Barbaresco was collapsing in our only decanter, on the nose it is all dark cherries, pretty flowers and that classic savoury element that is distinctly Chianti. On the palate, more of those cherries, well balanced, and excellent length. The finish is all about that savouriness again. A fantastic wine at its price point.
There is something reliable about Sangiovese from Tuscany. It consistently delivers at almost every price point.
I made a pasta dough early today. We cut it into fettuccine and made a sauce from cherry tomatoes, garlic and with meat from Italian sausages. The sausages make this dish.
