Friday night was pizza night at our house and I opened up a 2001 Fattoria Le Fonti chianti classico. If you don&#8217;t know about chiantia, it is the largest region in Tuscany. This is made largely from the sangiovese grape. This bottle was pretty darn good. It had a nice color just edging on brick red. On the nose were aromas of berries and red fruits. Interestingly there was a subtle hint of furniture polish, kind of like lemon pledge. Strange, I know, but it wasn&#8217;t a bad thing. The palate was very interesting. It was earthy with a medium body. There was a pronounced acidity that cut through the red fruits and I liked that very much. It had a solid tannin structure but they were nice and soft. There were nice hints of mocha and rusty nails dancing around my mouth. This was definitely a classic chianti classico in all respects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What goes better with pizza than a nice chianti classico?
