2001 Valiano - Chianti Classico Poggio Teo

On Sunday with gorgeous weather in Atlanta, we decided to try cooking pizzas on the Big Green Egg grill that has become Chris’ obsession as of late. I thought to accompany the pizza with a fun light red - and choose a Chianti from our wine cellar. I didn’t have any expectations about the wine - but I was pleasantly surprised. The wine was very light and smooth, definitely dry and a good flavor of fruit. Very enjoyable and a great companion for the grilled pizzas.
