From Southern-Style Pulled Pork with Chianti Barbecue Sauce to Chocolate Chianti Jubilee Cake, the well-balanced DaVinci Chianti pairs beautifully with a range of menus, bringing a taste of Tuscan tradition to American tables this holiday season.
As a complement to its annual Storyteller Experience – a program designed to give creative types a once-in-a-lifetime look at the people and place behind DaVinci's distinguished wines in the beautiful Tuscan town of Vinci – a handful of talented Storyteller alumni brought DaVinci Chianti to their holiday table, creating these inspired recipes:
- Southern-Style Pulled Pork with Chianti Barbecue Sauce, Apple Fennel Slaw and Homemade Baked Beans by 2013 DaVinci Storyteller Karista Bennett of Karista's Kitchen
- Roasted Butternut Squash Risotto with Chianti Soaked Grapes by 2012 DaVinci Storyteller Cathi Iannone of The Brooklyn Ragazza
- Chianti Poached Apples by 2013 DaVinci Storyteller Leela Cyd of Tea Cup Tea
- Chocolate Chianti Jubilee Cake by 2012 DaVinci Storyteller Mark Leslie of Beyond the Pasta
With a deep crimson color and jammy flavors of ripe plums, cherries and red fruit, DaVinci Chianti has round tannins that linger in a long peppery finish. Suggested pairings also include appetizers, pastas and meat dishes.
Over the past four years, the Storyteller Experience has sent 16 creative individuals – from food bloggers to artists and photographers – to Vinci, Italy, to experience the home of Chianti and the people and the place behind the cooperative of more than 200 growers who work together to produce DaVinci wines.
