Rocca delle Macie Famiglia Zingarelli Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2016 Review
Here is a good easy-to-find Chianti that is a solid pick for your dinner of liver with a side of fava beans (sorry had to do it). It’s also a great wine to bring to an Italian themed dinner party. Everyone will dig the classic style with a flare of the modern. It’s medium to full bodied, with a nice grip on the palate, and enough depth to pair well with any Italian dish. It has nice, tart fruit, and good acidity, so that depth doesn't weigh you down.
