When we think of kosher wine, we may often think of those from Israel, but here is one is from Italy. Terra di Seta is in Tuscany, near Siena in the Chianti Classico region. Their winery is on a family-run organic farm, overseen by Daniele Della Seta and his wife, Maria Pellegrini.
The 2016 PelegrÃni della Seta Chianti Classico Riserva is made entirely of Sangiovese grapes, harvested from the stony soil of a sunny, windy, low-yield vineyard at an elevation of more than 1,500 feet. The wine was aged in French oak barrels for 18 months. Alcohol sits at a lofty 15% abv
This Sangiovese is a fairly dark wine which smells of cherries, plums and blackberries with a mineral-driven overlay and some sweet oak spice. The palate has plenty of fruit, too, as well as a savory aspect that lingers on the finish. The tannins are firm - pair it with meat dishes or sauces and aged cheeses.
