Lea & Sandeman review
Superbly well made Chianti from the Montalbano district, close to Florence. A blend of Sangiovese with Canaiolo and Malvasia Nera, aged in large 'botte'. Deep in colour, richly textured with warm and ripe cherry fruit and a lovely spicy finish. Great value.
Other reviews and comments
Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Malvasia from Montalbano. Well done, very mild and well mannered.

'A taste of Italy'. Awful label, brilliant wine. I'm tricky about Chianti. It has to be right - not too heavy, redolent of dust, incense, mushrooms and cherries. This blend of sangiovese, canaiolo and malvasia nera ticks every box. It's slightly leathery (a wee bit of what I call 'good brett')and at under £10 it's also superb value.

Mixed Cases
Whether it's something Italian inspired - a pizza or a steaming bowl of pasta - something more widely Mediterranean, or something more home grown like bangers and mash, there is something so perfectly right about a glass of Italian wine to wash down your dinner. The bright cherry fruit of the reds, the crisp bite of the whites, all accompany and compliment food so well. Tuck in to this case of simple "everyday" wines and let the Italian sunshine into mealtimes whatever the weather.
