This Italian Chianti is a Riserva, meaning it’s already a few years old and so won’t have the fresh and mouth-filling flavours of wines made in the last 6 months. What it does have is lighter mouth feel and flavours of spicy plum and leather. There’s a bit of astringency, which isn’t unexpected in a Chianti, so it’ll be a good match to foods where you need to cut through the richness.
