Chianti is a delicious, easy drinking red wine made from primarily Sangiovese grapes grown in the Chianti region in central Tuscany. These wines are often high in both tannin and acidity with flavors of red fruits (think red cherry) and dried herbs and as I mentioned… pair PERFECTLY with pizza and red sauce pastas.

While I’m trying all of these wonderful wines for my WSET courses, I thought I would post my formal tasting notes for each – starting with a few white wines that I recently tasted!

Beaujolais is a great summer wine for red-wine lovers! The refreshing acidity and fruit flavors are highlighted when serving lightly chilled.
