Da Vinci, Chianti DOCG (Tuscany, Italy) 2014

Many wines from various Chianti appellations suffer not from bringing too little to the table, but rather from bringing too much.  This is especially true in a period with a lot of hot vintages.  This wine offers a refreshing case in counterpoint, with flavors and an overall profile that is fresh and delicate without seeming to faint.  Bright but not tart, this will work well with a very wide range of fish or white meat dishes.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2017 San Diego Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
