Sangiovese

We first had Castello D’Albola Chianti Classico Reserva when eating at Sambuca’s in Addison. It paired wonderfully with the steak I had and was decent with the herb chicken Jessica ate.
That was several years ago, and several cases of this wine later, it is official….we have finally polished off the final bottle. Feel free to cry, we almost did.
This is an excellent CCR, but a little difficult to find in your local retailer, around here at least. It, of course, pairs the best with red meat and other strong flavors, like herb encrusted chicken, or pork dishes. Strong currant flavors with a woody aftertaste. This is an excellently made wine that needs to be consumed now. It is ready and probably a little past peak already, but still highly recommended and ready to drink.
