Few years ago, if someone had told me that one of the wines that will not only be good accompaniment to Indian spicy food, but will also lift the flavours of the meal is an Italian one, I would have probably laughed.
And yet this Tuscan beauty is just that. Chianti is possibly the second most popular thing about Tuscany (the first being the views) and it delivers flavours of the food like no other. On the bottle it says "Chianti Superiore is an exceptionally well balanced wine of great structure with a pleasant dry, smooth and elegant flavour with complex aromas on the nose of sweet plum, black cherry & spices resulting in an iconic wine from the Tuscany region of Italy. Serve at 18 degrees, with grilled read meat or game". I would add "enjoy with a nice helping of some really flavourful spicy Indian biryani, making sure you take a sip with every bite"
On it's own, the wine may not make much of an impression, feeling smooth, slightly dry though quite light & aromatic. But, along with food, it transforms into a whole other experience.
