FYI Tuesday’s match well with red wine & homemade pizza 😜🍕🍷

This Chianti sample comes from Vino Bambino who promote the philosophy to ‘live, love, laugh and drink wine with your family and friends’. That’s my sort of motto!

This Il Palazzo 2016 Chianti from Italy 🇮🇹 is made up of predominately Sangiovese (typically it makes up 75-100% of the blend in a Chianti). Chianti is a type of wine but also a region in Tuscany.

It’s a ruby red colour in the glass. On the nose it’s earthy yet fresh with red and black fruits and there’s also a hint of pencil lead. In the mouth it’s soft and subtle with good acidity. There’s also a lick of tannin to top it off. A great $20 bottle of Italian red!

All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #winesample

This Chianti has more funk than the winery's Toscana yet it has more structural elegance. Darn impressive for "just" a Chianti rather than a Chianti Classico.

A well balanced medium bodied Chianti with slight smoke cherries and bacon. A great pizza wine ( with Al Forno Pizza... Good stuff!) 2012 vintage

2012 vintage. Tart black cherry. Just a bit of funk. Nice acidity. Great value for a Chianti. Nicely done.
