Castello Di Bossi Berardo 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva, $23.79-$29.99, 92 points, poured a deep sienna color with dense sticky legs and a broad clear meniscus.
Aromas of violets, earth, and a red raspberry perfume were delightful.
A medium-bodied bone-dry red wine with bright acidity, grippy grainy tannins, and a tart red fruit flavor profile nuanced with black tea, spearmint, and a hint of truffles was delicious if a bit tight at this point.
Finished on the trailing palate, iron, and a compatible 14.5% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my meatball/provolone sub. Look to pairing this with most tomato-based Italian dishes, but will manage with great respect stews, steaks, ribs, and of course even white-sauced pizzas.
