The beauty of this bottle from Italy’s Chianti DOCG wine region is its attention to simplicity.

Featuring the Sangiovese grape variety, the 2022 Cecchi’s focus is fresh red cherries and subtle savoury spices. And, to my senses, it is juicy, velvety, super dry, round, and fresh.

The bottom line: this DOCG Chianti is appealing, approachable, food versatile, and well-priced. Enjoy.
