Valdellecorti Lo Straniero Vino Rosso 2011

$9

A Chianti Mountain red for 9 bucks? Yep, this oh-so-friendly & quaffable "Lo Straniero" (which means "stranger" in Italian) is easy on the palate and the pocketbook. Throughout Chianti, the locals drink gallons of cheap, tasty Sangiovese red wine all year long. Roberto Bianchi and wife Lis never intended their beloved Lo Straniero to reach American shores, easily selling everything they make to locals who love it. Guess what: Now you too can share in the Sangiovese love. Bing cherry, blackberry, touch of cranberry, with some mountain fennel and nice acidity. A perfect "house red."

Tasty, cheap, nice Sangiovese blend. I call it "Pizza Wash." Bing cherry, blackberry, cranberry, wild fennel. Pair it with pepperoni pizza , burgers, spaghetti and bolognese Ragù.
