I would totally not name my kid Chianti, but I’m sure someone has.

Chianti is a relatively full-bodied Italian red wine. More heavy than pinot noir, kinda similar to zinfandel, not as heavy as a cabernet sauvignon, burgundy or bourdeaux.

Liver and fava beans go great with a nice Chianti.

I know that if you order it with fish it’s a sure sign that you work for SPECTRE.

It’s a Chianti Riserva from 2003. Strong notes of violent earth notes and subtle hints of purple Kool-Aid. Best drunk upside down, preferably near a stream or maybe a small river. It can be a large river if there’s a bear doing this -

I’m partial to a chianti classico and find chianti reserva to by a little chalky similar to a cabernet sauvignon.

Let it breathe for a few minutes and enjoy in a wide rimmed wine glass.

((presently enjoying a nice chilled pinot grigio))

Make sure you use an aerator. They’re < $20 and make a huuuuuuuge difference in the flavors.

It's 12 years old, I'm afraid that would turn it rather quickly.

These things just strike me as a scam, I know nothing of wine, or really ever had much, some how, still seems scamy

You’re just asking for your daughter to be a stripper at that point.

There is more than one Chianti in the world, haha. I checked White Pages.

Not really. Put it on your bottle before pouring, and it makes the wine taste better.

No,they actually work. Exposing a lot of surface area to air means the wine absorbs oxygen and nitrogen, which drives out some of the other volatiles (don’t ask me why, it just does: because chemistry). Those volatiles give wine its smell, and smell is 90% of taste, so more volatiles being emitted means better flavour. It’s not a massive effect, but it’s enough that once you’re familiar with wine you’d notice the difference back to back. The effect is more pronounced with older wines like this one.

The downside is that mixing oxygen into the wine causes oxidation reactions which ruin the flavour over time, so once you’ve opened a bottle you need to drink it within a few days,and once you’ve aerated it you need to drink it within a few hours. This effect is also more pronounced with older wines.

They are slightly scammy, in that you can achieve the same effect for free by pouring the bottle into a jug and back a few times. But that aerates the whole bottle, and some people may not want to commit to finishing the whole bottle that night. Or so I’m told :-)

Yeah, I sell wine for work. I’m not familiar with this particular one, it looks like an older Masi chianti that i dont think they make any more. But i would try to drink it sooner than later. Chianti is mostly made up of a grape called Sangiovese that doesnt age well.
