Cinque Stelle Chianti

Imported Wines from Italy

Chianti wine is a red blend from Italy, made primarily with Sangiovese grapes. Chianti is light-bodied with a uniquely savory flavor, notable tannins, and a fair amount of acidity. It is an absolute classic that embodies all that is good in Italian and Old World wines. Chianti pairs well with a variety of foods. Chianti pairs brilliantly with tomato sauces, pizza and pasta bakes such as lasagna but it’s also a great wine with a simple grill or even a burger. Other good meat pairings with Chianti include meatballs, veal, ossobuco, and meat stew. Chianti is also a great pairing for charcuterie, veal, and a variety of cheeses.
