Red · Full · Dry

The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.

Why it works with Chocolate And Ricotta Ravioli

Big Cab with dark chocolate — tannin meets cocoa's bitter edge in surprising harmony.

Chianti

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

Tuscany's everyday red, made from Sangiovese — cherry, leather, and a brisk acidity that makes tomato-based dishes sing. The Classico designation marks the historic heartland and a step up in quality.

Why it works with Chocolate And Ricotta Ravioli

Chianti is the pasta wine of choice — cherry, leather, cleansing acid.

Sangiovese

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

The soul of Tuscany — bright red cherry, dried herbs, and a savory line of acidity that craves tomato sauce. Chianti is the everyday face; Brunello is its serious cousin.

Why it works with Chocolate And Ricotta Ravioli

Italy's table wine for Italy's table dish — Sangiovese acid meets tomato sauce naturally.

Fortified · Full · Sweet

Port from a single declared year, aged in bottle for decades. Dense, structured, ageless; the pinnacle of fortified wine.

Why it works with Chocolate And Ricotta Ravioli

Vintage Port and dark chocolate is the textbook dessert pairing — sweet and rich meet sweet and rich.

Zinfandel

Interesting

Red · Full · Dry

California's brawler — jammy blackberry, brambly spice, and 15% alcohol that hides behind the fruit. Built for ribs, brisket, and anything that came off a grill.

Why it works with Chocolate And Ricotta Ravioli

Late-harvest Zin or jammy Zin can stand up to chocolate's intensity.
