1995 Fattoria di Rodáno Chianti Classico Riserva Viacosta

Served With: Eggplant Parmesan

Five Things: saddle leather, berry, bramble, earthy, sweat

COO: Tuscany, Italy

Notes: Another cellar find, the Chianti Classico had slight bricking on the edges and took a few hours to open up, but again was so worth the wait. This Sangiovese blend was well-matched with a hearty tomato sauce and the unctuous melty eggplant.

Rating: Delicious
