Volpetto Chianti DOCG Red Wine, 75 cl

Joe Fattorini's Tasting Note: "It’s important to know your wine matches in Tuscany. Chianti Classico is for big, dense dishes, whilst regular Chianti has a lighter cherry fruit that works best with pasta, lighter grills and even barbecued chicken. It’s an easier, mid-week wine and more generously fruity with less herbal complexity." Volpetto, meaning fox cub, is a symbol of the Tuscan countryside. While previously feared, now foxes seen in their natural habitat are considered a sign that the area is in harmony with nature. Volpetto is The Wine People's take on the Sangiovese grape - a small range of totally modern wines, made using the best possible modern methods to bring out the very best in the grape variety. Volpetto Chianti is well structured and full bodied, lively and intense.
