The organic Conti Capponi Villa Calcinaia 2019 Chianti Classico is a great food choice. Here you have a Tuscan red that shows exuberance, lots of red fruit, plum and ripe cherry. The wine is vertical and bright, with the delicate but effective acidity to cut through cheese or cream-based dishes. The wine is Sangiovese with a small part of Canaiolo.
