Orsi Family’s 2015 Sangiovese is quite Chianti Classico in style for a domestic example, one that balances herb and earth character against lush cherry fruit and soft oak spice, riding lively acidity through a finish that keeps pumping flavor. Bring on the classic Italian menu – I’m leaning toward a carbonara pasta.
