Chianti Classico, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy
A solid Chianti Classico to go with a mess of broccoli rabe and homemade salchicia with pasta. Comfort! Not the most complex, but loads of dark, sour cherry fruit, a balsamic note, and a bit of crushed gravel. Good intensity and balance in the mouth. Not the lengthiest but satisfying!
UPDATED: After two nights under a vacuum closure, it’s much deeper and more complete. Upping initial 8.9 score to 9.1, on the condition that, if drunk before 2027, it needs to be opened for a while before it struts its stuff.

Good Chianti. Lot of fruit/ cherry. Benefits from a bit of air. Had this with a family recipe- misticanza- sausage - based- and it fit the bill.
