Chianti is a timeless Italian classic and is Italy’s most famous wine region, making mainly reds from the Sangiovese grape. These days ‘Chianti’ is unlikely to mean a rustic basket wine (fiaschi) and refers to a delicious and classic Italian red - medium-body, bright spicy fruit and Sangiovese’s lovely acidity. Enjoy the cherry fruit and silky texture of these great-value Chianti's with anything off the grill or flavoursome pasta.
This classic collection includes:
2 x Zonin 'Classici' Chianti 2022 2021 2 x Castello di Albola Chianti Classico DOCG 2022 2 x Maretti Chianti DOCG 2022
We've been fans of their Syrah and Chardonnay for some time and this is another go-to product we'll add to the list.
Light in colour, but plenty of depth and flavour and pleasingly dry.
Highly recommended.
I haven’t tried every bottle in this selection yet, however, so far they are all very tasty. I’m a Chardonnay lover, always on the look out for a dryish not sweet wine and these are just right for me. An excellent mixed case and we’ll priced.
This was a very nice surprise in Wine Direct’s very welcome Plenty Under $20 category. Beautifully fruity, rich and smooth. Often the Plenty Under $20 range is a little light for the depth I like but I will definitely be reordering this one.
A great summer wine… elegant and a fine balance of lighter fruit and delicate acidity with a nice dry finish. Very drinkable with or without food. A nice change from our usual unoaked French Chardonnay
