Fontodi Chianti Classico from Tuscany, Italy
Tonight's bottle · Bright, dusty, sun-warmed red

Fontodi Chianti Classico

🇮🇹Tuscany, Italy · Sangiovese

Red cherry, dried herbs, terracotta dust. Tuscan sun in liquid form — bright on the attack, lingering in the back of the room. Drinks like an open window in late afternoon.

What to read with it

Books for this glass

Matched to the wine's region, weight, and weather — not the other way around.

  • Match № 01 · River-heavy, haunted, holy
    Beloved
    by Toni Morrison
    Why this works

    Sun-warmed terracotta and dried herbs — a wine that holds its weight without raising its voice.

  • Match № 02 · Candlelit Greek, slow-burning dread
    The Secret History
    by Donna Tartt
    Why this works

    Sangiovese's Italianate undertow catches the book's classical hangover — dark cherry and tobacco leaf for a long candlelit night.
