About the Wine: Chianti is probably the best known of the Italian reds. Mild, dry, and easy drinking, it is a standard compliment to tomato dishes, especially pasta dishes. Chianti Classico is Chianti from the heart of the Chianti region, which Wikipedia assures me is in Tuscany.
About THIS Wine: The wine is fairly light with a red center and a clear rim. Green pepper, grass, and other verdant things make up a nose I would not normally associate with Chianti. Rich, full red fruits with hints of clove make up a very nice palate with a finish of green pepper and spice.
Drinking This Wine: This works well as a sipping wine. It would also go well with pasta in red sauce or red meat dishes with sauce.
Overall Impression: This is a very pleasant drinking experience. It is reasonable for the price.
