Chianti Classico Riserva, Castello di Volpaia
Benchmark Riserva, elegant and understated but great persistence of ripe red cherry and chestnut flavours.
Volpaia is the touchstone by which all other Tuscan wines are judged. There's a refinement and simplicity about their Chianti which owes much to the altitude of this ancient estate and the talented personalities involved: Giovanella Stanti, husband Carlo Mascheroni and eminent consultant oenologist Maurizio Castelli. This fine Riserva is elegant and understated but with great persistence of rich red cherry and chestnut flavours. Save for fillet steaks.

Adnams Tuscan Red, La Cappella, IGT Toscana
A good dollop of Merlot adds body to the lively red fruit flavours of Sangiovese.
Morellino di Scansano, Serpaia, Maremma, Endrizzi
Aromas of tar and roses, bramble fruit flavours and bittersweet finish. Delicious with grilled herby lamb.
