About the Castelvecchi Lodolaio Chianti Classico Riserva 2019 750ml
Sangiovese flavors
Good-quality Sangiovese is generally prized for its acid structure and firm tannins. Savory flavors of dark cherries and black stone fruit are characteristic and may be backed by secondary notes of tomato leaf and dried herbs.

The judicious use of oak coaxes richer flavors from the grapes, tending toward plum and wild raspberry.
Food pairings for Sangiovese wines
Various meat dishes can work well. Because of its acidity, the grape can match well with fattier meats such as slow-cooked belly pork or duck breasts.
Mushrooms have a particular affinity with Sangiovese. A mushroom risotto (alone or as a side dish to a steak) is a suitably Italian partner.

Because of the prominent acidity and tannins, care should be taken with sweet or spicy sauces. Barbeque features these, and a degree of char which doubles up on the more astringent aspects of the grape.

High-salt dishes or foods can be a problem; for example, Parmesan cheese is not ideal. In general, Sangiovese is not the most obvious wine for cheese, though it could work well with raclette of fondues.
