Chianti

Tiamo (meaning 'I love you' in Italian) creates organic wines that capture the authentic character of Italian classics, and their Chianti is a perfect example of why this region's wines have been beloved for centuries. This isn't a fancy riserva meant for the cellar – it's an honest, everyday Chianti meant for the dinner table. Made primarily from Sangiovese grown in Tuscany's rolling hills, this wine delivers exactly what good Chianti should: bright cherry fruit, mouthwatering acidity, and enough structure to stand up to food without overwhelming it. The organic farming practices add an extra layer of feel-good factor to this already likable wine. It's the bottle you reach for when you want something familiar and reliable but still interesting enough to enjoy – the wine equivalent of that friend who's always welcome at dinner.

When it comes to Italian wine, sometimes the name on the label can be as much of a tongue-twister as the wine is a palate-pleaser. This Chianti Superiore from Migilarina & Montozzi delivers exactly what you want from a quality Tuscan red – that perfect balance of fruit, acidity, and structure that makes Italian wines so famously food-friendly. The 'Superiore' designation means this wine has to meet stricter production standards and higher minimum alcohol levels than basic Chianti – essentially, it's Chianti that's been hitting the books and getting better grades. Made predominantly from Sangiovese grown in Tuscany's picturesque hills, this wine captures the region's sunny disposition and ancient winemaking heritage. It's the kind of bottle that makes you want to book a flight to Florence, but until then, it'll transport your Tuesday night pasta dinner to new heights.
