2021 Pierofosco Chianti Governo all'uso Toscano D.O.C.G.

Seek out deep cherry notes and hints of small, dried red fruit in this 2021 Pierofosco red from Tuscany. Mild tannins are smooth and silky on the palate, bringing out secondary notes of plum and cranberry. The wine is full-bodied and well-balanced, with an elegant, lingering finish of rosemary and herbs. In 1914, Piero Fosco wrote and directed the film “Cabiria,” an instant Italian classic and success on a global scale. With every bottle produced, Pierofosco seeks to emulate the artistic masterpiece of Cabiria, as evident in the rich, complex flavors of this Tuscan red. As a multi-generational winemaking family, this winery has established itself as one of the premier up-and-coming winemakers in Tuscany. Pair this 2021 Pierofosco with chicken liver crostini, pecorino-topped lasagne, chickpea soup, and salami with fennel.
