Rocca delle Macìe, Chianti Classico (Tuscany, Italy) 2013

May 13, 2015

By Michael Apstein

Wines from the Chianti Classico region remain extremely popular.  Indeed, we Americans drink more of them than the Italians.  And this one from Rocca delle Macìe, a top producer, shows why.  The 2013 is fresh with a food-enhancing bite and the non fruit — earthy — flavors that make Chianti Classico so appealing.  An appealing hint of bitterness in the finish makes it a great choice for a simple lasagna or even burgers.
