The story behind Il Palio
Chianti is a Tuscan red built on Sangiovese, the grape that gives the wine its bright acidity, dusty cherry fruit and gentle grip of tannin. Classic Chianti is medium bodied and savory, with a dry finish that makes it one of the most food friendly reds on any table.
We keep Il Palio Chianti 750mL on our Commack shelves in small quantity, one to two bottles at a time. It is a straightforward, honest example of the style, the kind of bottle to open on a weeknight with a plate of red sauce.
