Chianti Classico D.O.C.G.
This classic wine, with its full body and smooth tannins, is an ideal sparring partner for lasagna. The rich dish plays to the wine’s strengths: tomatoes pair wonderfully with its fruitiness and the pasta highlights its spice. Decant and serve this Chianti at 16 - 18°C / 60 – 65°F.
