I really wanted to try pairing Amarone di Valpolicella next time I had deep dish, but wasn’t really in the cards this weekend (based on inventory and what my wife wanted to eat), so I went with this Chianti. Maybe next time I’ll get to try my experiment.
Drank this bottle over 2 days using a Coravin. Paired with pasta and some old sweet Italian chicken sausage from the freezer on the other day.
Almost forgot to take a pic entirely, dinner (and life in general!) can be a bit hectic with the little one.
I feel like the floor is high on Chianti but maybe the ceiling isn’t that high? Used to be one of my favorite types of wine but impresses me less nowadays. I do love how easy it is for pairing with food though. Check me for sure if you think I’m wrong!
Anyway, good wine but not a stunner. Black cherry on the palate but not on the nose, interestingly. #drink #food source
