From one of the most famous regions of Tuscany, producer Poggio Amorelli is located in one of the most picturesque places in the heartland of the Chianti, the village of Castellina in Chianti.
Their 2007 vintage is a great expression of the regions traditional style. Made from 100 percent sangiovese, it delivers intense aromas of red cherry, violets and just a hint of vanilla imparted from its maturation in oak. One of the hall marks of this style is the streak of vibrant acidity and savory fruit and subtle spice quality, making it a great wine to pair with a wide range of food, not just its typical companions, such as pasta and pizza. Its silky texture and medium body reminds me how well this would work alongside turkey and all the trimmings for Thanksgiving. At such a reasonable price, this is definitely going to be one of my picks on the table.
