The 2006 vintage of Monrosso has been bottled under DIAM which is a major step forward for Chianti producers. The great entry level Chianti ($22 a bottle retail) is great for everyday drinking and is from the much lauded 2006 vintage.
'Stay-at-home pasta or pizza dinners call out for a simple but solid Chianti, and Monrosso fits the bill beautifully. The ruby-colored wine (80 per-cent Sangiovese with smaller components of Canaiolo and Merlot) is fermented in steel and aged six months in oak casks for fresh, fruitforward results. It is redolent of cherry, plum, milk chocolate and has distant hints of spice and licorice. Its lightweight consistency and subtle tannins make it an excellent, no-brainer match for most foods'.
