Chianti Chianti wines have many different classifications ranging from Classico to Superiore, and their flavors often include tart, spicy and herbaceous notes. Brunello di Montalcino Often compared to Pinot Noir, this wine contains smooth tannins and has a ripe fruit-forward flavor. Pair with grilled meats, game and aged cheese. Barbera Barbera pairs well with just about anything you throw at it. Interestingly enough, this wine drastically changes in flavor the more it’s aged.
