What we’re drinking this week: Santa Cristina Chianti Superiore

We’ve recently been dipping into the imported wine section at Woolies. We love its Italian Red for everyday drinking, and this chianti is on the list for long lunches with friends …

Our pick this week:

Santa Cristina Chianti Superiore

R349.99, Woolworths

Why we love it:

Santa Cristina Chianti Superiore is a smooth talker with roots – literally – in nearly a century of Tuscan winemaking. This Italian red brings morello cherries, a touch of wild herb and just enough balsamic lift to keep things interesting. The palate is plush and velvety, with a savoury finish that lingers like a good dinner guest – it’s unmistakenly from the hills of Chianti!
