Vintage 2016 | double magnum | We drank this wine with my tasting friends after winning the Dutch championship blindtasting. Sangiovese tastes really good at that moment. It got more and more creamy in the glass. Paired with several dishes; it was awesome with a steak and frites, but to my surprise it combined really well with mussels in a Thai cocos curry sauce.

Had a pasta feast after candlelight service at Church. The Chianti was a wonderful compliment to the meal. Lots of lovely fruit and so mellow.🍷
