spectacular chianti riserva…
Posted by: | CommentsI wish I’d taken a picture…
Susan and I have been spending as much time as possible together before the season of “business travel” ramps up again. So, on Sunday we prepared a magnificent, braised pork shoulder with Tuscan beans for dinner.
I’d been looking for an “excuse” to crack a bottle of Aljoscha’s latest release of the I Tre Borri (2006) Chianti Riserva, and this frigid Sunday evening, and this meal seemed like a perfect opportunity.
OM*G, was that combination perfect! The richness of the meal is the only reason we didn’t just slam back the bottle in one shot (well, that, and the fact that we had to go to work in the morning…). This wine is a magnificent tour de force rendition of Chianti from the oldest vines at Corzano e Paterno. Don’t miss it, there isn’t a lot to go around!
