A Nice Bottle Of Chianti

Villa Longobardi Chianti from the Co-op

I've had more poor-value and disappointing Chiantis than I care to remember - so this enjoyable,  sub-£10 Co-op Chianti stands out as a great find; it scores highly for drinkability, value and typicity.

What more can you ask for?

Villa Longobardi Chianti 2016 (£8.29, reduced to £7.29 from 23 May until 12 June inclusive) cherry and plum fruit, oaky spice and good underpinnings with freshness and fine tannins.

Match with beef dishes or pasta sauces.
