Brunello Di Montalcino

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

Tuscany's most serious wine — pure Sangiovese aged at least five years before release. Cherry, leather, tobacco, dried herb; immensely structured, immensely age-worthy.

The friendly middle ground for Basil-crusted Veal Chops: Brunello Di Montalcino's balance lets the meat lead.

Montepulciano D'abruzzo

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

Italy's most popular under-$15 red — the Montepulciano grape (not the Tuscan town) from Abruzzo, all sour cherry, plum, soft tannins. The pizza-and-pasta wine.

Why it works with Basil-crusted Veal Chops

Montepulciano D'abruzzo's gentle structure complements Basil-crusted Veal Chops's flavors; reach for this when subtler is better.
