Viticcio Riserva 2017 Chianti Classico is a dry, full-bodied and mouth-watering red wine blend of mostly Sangiovese with splashes of Merlot and Syrah added to the mix. Fragrant with ripe dark cherry, cassis, pepper and baking spice aromas balanced with bright acidity and structured tannins. Pour with roast beef or leg of lamb. Drink or hold.

Chianti Classico food pairings: spaghetti and meatballs, veal chops Florentine, hard cheeses.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
