Red · Medium · Dry
Sangiovese from Tuscany's historic heartland — denser fruit, longer finish, and a structure that rewards aging. The pizza wine, elevated.
Why it works with Chicken Santimboca
Medium reds like Chianti Classico hold up well to Chicken Santimboca, especially when roasted or grilled.
Red · Medium · Dry
Cabernet's softer sibling — plum, black cherry, and a whisper of chocolate, framed by rounder tannins and earlier drinkability. The wine that built Pomerol and the one to reach for when Cabernet feels like overkill.
Why it works with Chicken Santimboca
Merlot gives Chicken Santimboca a structured partner — fruit and tannin without aggression.
White · Light · Dry
Italy's everyday white — light, lemony, neutral by design. Pleasant with anything; profound with very little. The best Friuli bottles are quietly excellent.
Why it works with Chicken Santimboca
Pinot Grigio's brightness lifts Chicken Santimboca cleanly; the acid frames the meat without crowding it.
