Cantina Della Torre Chianti
Tuscan Sangiovese at a table wine price, poured here for years.
The story behind Cantina Della Torre
Cantina Della Torre Chianti comes out of the Chianti D.O.C.G. zone in Tuscany, Sangiovese country, where the grape gives red cherries, raspberries and violets over a faint herbal note. The wine is fermented under temperature control and aged briefly, either a short stretch in oak or time in stainless steel, depending on the tier. That keeps it bright and fruit forward rather than heavy.
The label travels through Schenk Italia, the wine group founded in Italy in 1952, which is why it lands on shelves here at a working price instead of a collector price. We have poured it in Commack for years. It is the bottle you open on a Tuesday with tomato sauce and no ceremony.
