Chianti
Certified Tuscan appellation
Chianti is a dry red wine from the Chianti region of Tuscany, Italy.
Made primarily from Sangiovese grapes, it ranges from light and fruity to robust and complex.
The wine is traditionally associated with Italian cuisine, particularly tomato-based dishes: We ordered a bottle of Chianti with our pasta.
