Very pleased with the QPR on these two Costco picks.
The Chianti is juicier with a red cherry jolly rancher note and a pleasant herbal bitterness. $19
The Brunello is more austere and a more oxidative style. Still some red fruit, but more reserved. $21
Both have serious structure with medium plus tannins and nice acidity. I wouldn’t age them, the Brunello doesn’t have the concentration to go the long haul, and the Chianti is just nice at the more primary phase.
Chianti stood up better to red sauce, Brunello was great with pizza bianca ai funghi.
