Tosco's word
The Chianti Colli Senesi from Tenuta Casabianca takes the lead on typicity (8.4 versus 7.8) and on versatility at the table, with a wine that pairs easily and sells for €8 for a 37.5 cl bottle, or €16.32 for 75 cl. The Riserva Geografico 2020, for its part, appeals with its aging of at least 24 months and its moderate price of €9.56 per bottle, so it suits those looking for a more structured bottle.
