California Chianti

When we set out to produce this wine, we looked directly to the area in Europe in which its counterpart was being produced. We looked to the classics from the Tuscany region as well as the Veneto region in north-east Italy. To blend in a similar style in which the formula has always specified a red grape and a white, we chose specifically a Ruby Cabernet red and a French Colombard white. Slightly sweet, this wine is fruity, rich and very easy drinking. A wonderful accompaniment to so many of your daily meals. (not to mention your favorite Italian Cuisine!)
