2008 Pieve di Spaltenna Chianti Classico. Perfect for the benched ex-permie budget at 8 euros, and I really can't fault the quality. It certainly washed the duck and the mushrooms away very well. Might be worth laying down a couple of bottles for a few years down the line. I remember when most Chiantis were awful; things have improved.

Served with some Swiss chard and beetroot to cut the fattiness of the duck.

Oh, and I've got some nicely rendered duck fat in the oven dish now, which will be used for roast potatoes and gravy tomorrow. Good with meat loaf.Last edited by Mich the Tester; 5 April 2013, 18:52.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment
