Chianti

Where better to look than Tuscany, when you’re trying to think warm thoughts? This famous red wine commonly has sour cherry, savoury flavours and an abundance of spice, reminiscent of mulled wines (without the mulling).

The combination of aromas and flavours will keep you feeling snug and warm. It may even help you build up the courage to venture outside, perhaps to the store to buy another bottle.

Tasted by Rick VanSickle

“A bargain Italian with a personable nose of savoury red fruits, herbs, spice, nutmeg, earth and raspberry bush. It’s vibrant but nicely mature on the palate with plush tannins, lovely savoury spices and integrated red and dark berries.”
