Cantina Gabriele Chianti is a Sangiovese-forward dry red from the heart of Tuscany, made kosher at the Gabriele winery under OU supervision. Old-world structure, a friendly price, and mevushal for the caterer's pasta night.

Mood: Tuscan, food-friendly, mevushal.

Tasting notes

Deep ruby with aromas of red cherry, dried oregano, tobacco leaf, and a whisper of leather. The palate is medium-bodied and dry, with sour cherry, plum, and a firm acid spine that keeps everything lifted. The finish is savory, herbal, and gently tannic.

Food pairing

Classic with tomato-based pastas, meat lasagna, veal parmesan, grilled sausage, roast chicken and mushroom risotto. Also holds up to a Shabbos brisket with light red sauce.
