Author Notes

Paired best with Santa Margherita's Chianti Classico Riserva - this ruby colored wine, in particular, makes a perfect pairing with game meat through its vigorous tannins and fresh acidity, followed by an aroma of forest fruits and sweet spice against a backdrop of herbs and autumn leaves. —tastytots17
