The Melini family has a long history of producing Chianti and is behind this good-value, everyday drinking own-label Finest Chianti. Riserva on the label indicates that the wine has aged for a minimum of two years in barrel and a further three months in bottle. A good match for simple pasta dishes, including those with tomato-based sauces, this has ripe red cherry fruit and some spicy, savoury notes. Perfect for weeknight suppers.
