Da Vinci Chianti sources grapes from south-facing hillside vineyards outside Vinci and Cerreto Guidi in the western part of the Chianti region. It is made with 90% Sangiovese grapes and 10% Merlot grapes. It is a well-balanced wine of medium weight with jammy flavors of ripe plums, cherries and red fruit. It has a deep crimson color and is a lively wine with a soft mineral finish and round tannins that linger in long, peppery finish. This wine pairs perfectly with all starters, pastas and meat dishes and is best when served slightly below room temperature.
