Winery:   "Colour is a vivid ruby red.  The nose possesses evident notes of red fruit and hints of cherries. The taste delivers smooth and good structure with a fruity aftertaste."

Wired For Wine:  Get ready to roll out your favorite Italian comfort foods, winelovers!  From the quintessential Tuscan fortified village of Volpaia, this Volpaia Chianti Classico is  elegant, fragrant and superbly balanced, and thus the perfect partner...  Chicken, pasta, pizza, lamb and steak will all do well; you just have to decide what's on the menu.  Pour your first glass of ripe, rich fruit and clean mineral notes and enjoy it with a cannelini bean-garlic puree on toasted baguette slices.  This meaty yet floral Chianti Classico is great with tomato and meat sauces, so cheese ravioli with a fresh tomato sauce or the classic meat lasagna are wonderful options, as is a sausage pizza.  Feeling like something a bit more hearty?  We love the soft tannins of this Volpaia with grilled rib lamb chops paired with a delicious porcini risotto. After you've finished with the main course, pour another glass and nurse it with an Italian Provolone Dolce cheese.  Like it's sharper cousin, it is a slightly milder version which will complement this Chianti Classico beautifully.  Prendi i bicchieri, enofili!
