Castello di Volpaia makes a wonderful array of wines from the Chianti region. This one has the quintessential bright cherry-like fruit intertwined with slightly earthy, herbal notes. Hallmark Tuscan acidity keeps it fresh and you coming back for more throughout the meal. It’s a perfect choice for lasagna or even a grilled streak.
