This Summer, Make It Chianti Classico
The New York Times
Even in warmer weather, some occasions cry out for a red. This Tuscan wine is a gorgeous expression of sangiovese, with many excellent producers.
Here’s my wine for the summer: Chianti Classico. I know, it’s not what people usually imagine as a summer wine. It’s red, for one thing. Sunny days, sweaty nights and poolside tables are the regular haunts of rosés and whites. I’ve always resisted the notion that seasons alone dictate what’s best to drink. It’s the food at least as much as the weather.More Related News
