This gem from the southwestern reaches of the Chianti appellations represents the brighter, more refreshing possibilities of the style. Spry, upbeat, timeless, and almost palate-cleansing, it gets along splendidly with tomato-heavy cuisine and food in general. The Casabianca farm prides itself on its unspoiled landscape, environmental stewardship, and beautiful wildlife that can be spotted nearby, hopefully while sipping at this ruby-in-a-glass.
Serving Suggestion: Chinese eggplant & sweet onion w/ olive oil, butter, oregano, pepper, & cinnamon. Cannellini bean & tomato salad w/ balsamic vinegar, pine nuts, & dried cherries.
