2021 Azienda Guilio Straccali Chianti (Chianti, Italy)
We decided Saturday morning not to drink today.
We stayed strong until just after lunch.
I used to be a bit snobbish with Chianti in the fiasco. We have had a few here in Dubai and they have all been great. Chianti always takes me back to Italy, more than any other wine. shell will pass on Barolo, Brunello, and Burgundy for a Chianti.
Made from 85% Sangiovese with a small amount of Canaiolo and Merlot. A very typical Chianti. Ripe red fruit, savoury with excellent structure. We drank it with the left over buffalo ragù and polenta. Well not really, we finished the bottle before dinner.
