Today’s Petronius Wines 2007 Chianti Classico, upon first pour, is a bit shy and reserved. But after giving it a chance to open up, boy, does it really spring to life!

If you love Chianti, this 96 Pointer is everything you could hope for. This wine is classically robust, with dark aromas and bright, delicious flavors that delight the senses. There is an Old World earthiness to this lovely wine that will continue to reward sip after sip. An easy and flexible companion for many foods, this wine would pair well with a creamy Fettuccine Alfredo with pancetta or an assortment of hard cheeses.

But act fast, because with only a limited availability on this Chianti, it won’t last long!
