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.

Low-alcohol sparkling sweet — works with fruit, light cakes, and biscotti.
White · Light · Dry

Clean white that works with cream-sauce and seafood pasta.

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 Peanut Noodle Cakes
Italy's table wine for Italy's table dish — Sangiovese acid meets tomato sauce naturally.
Dessert · Full · Sweet
