Villa Ilangi - Chianti

This 2019 Chianti from Villa Ilangi is a gem. It's crafted with 80% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo, and 10% Merlot. Just a few miles from Florence, Villa Ilangi has olive groves mixed with vineyards. This straightforward, easy - to - drink wine offers rich flavors of dried cherry, stewed strawberry, a hint of pepper, and a touch of cinnamon. It pairs perfectly with Eggplant Parmesan, enhancing your dining experience.

To enjoy this Villa Ilangi Chianti, simply open the bottle and pour it into a wine glass. Let it breathe for about 15 - 20 minutes to bring out its full flavors. Serve it at a cool room temperature, around 60 - 65°F. When it comes to food pairing, as mentioned, Eggplant Parmesan is a great choice, but it also goes well with other Italian dishes like pasta with tomato - based sauces. After opening, if you don't finish the bottle, cork it tightly and store it in the refrigerator. It should stay good for a couple of days, but the flavor might start to fade a bit over time.
