Fontella Chianti 2010 $11.95. We had a couple of friends over for dinner and they brought over this Chianti, which we had with dinner. It was a very nice wine with black cherry notes and subtle oak and earth on the palette. Very smooth drinking. JC90
During the same evening, following dinner I opened a cheap Italian wine I had in the ‘cellar’: Dragani Montepulciano D’Abruzzo 2010. At $6.95, I believe it’s tied for the cheapest 750ml bottle of wine that you can buy at the LCBO. You can also buy a 2000ml bottle for $16.95, which is even a better deal. The common rule with dinner parties is that you shouldn’t open a nice bottle after guests have already been consuming a decent amount of alcohol. Since people had been enjoying beer and white wine as well as the Chianti already, I pulled the Dragani out. It was a nice simple, smooth tasting red. Nothing special, but enjoyable all the same.
