2015 Fontodi Chianti Classico

15% abv (excessive, IMO)

Morello cherry with hints of mint and pepper. As with other Fontodi wines, I find the oak to be a bit obtrusive. Better with food than on its own.

Day 2 saw a bit of mellowing and more of the fruit to take center stage, which I suppose bodes well for further cellaring.

Paired with lamb sugo rigatoni accented with onion agrodolce and Parmigiano Reggiano.
