Wine tip: Chianti Classico Riserva 2018

This was a wonderful wine for a wonderful sirloin! Carpineto Chianti Classico Riserva 2018 is a red wine from Chianti Classico in Tuscany, Italy.

Now it must be said that I am convinced that this wine also tastes wonderful with both outside and tenderloin, in addition to good steaks. The turkey will also love this Chianti just as much and you shouldn't miss out on testing it for delicious pasta dishes.


The wine is made mainly from Sangiovese grapes, with small amounts of Canaiolo and other local grape varieties. The wine is aged in oak barrels for at least 12 months before bottling, which gives it a complex and rich flavor profile. Carpineto Chianti Classico Riserva 2018 has aromas of red and dark fruits, such as cherries and plums, along with hints of vanilla and spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with flavors of ripe red fruits, tobacco, and leather, as well as a firm tannin backbone and a long finish. All in all, Carpineto Chianti Classico Riserva 2018 is a delicious and well-balanced wine that goes well with powerful meat dishes and rich pasta dishes. It is also a great choice for storage in your wine cellar as it will continue to develop and improve for years to come.
