Borgo Scopeto Chianti Classico

That floral dried-herb note really comes through on the finish, and the black cherry flavor is perfectly balanced. Medium-bodied and smooth enough to sip on its own, it’s become a new go-to for weeknight dinners.

Cracked it open with pasta last night and honestly the black cherry note hit me right away, way more fruit-forward than I expected for the price. Dried herbs on the finish kept it elegant without being too heavy. Already ordered another bottle.

The black cherry note really comes through on the nose, and the dried herbs give it a savory twist that makes it perfect with pasta. It’s medium-bodied and elegant without feeling heavy, which is exactly what I want in a weekday Chianti.
