 My friend Gino at Castello di Verrazzano in Pieve in Chianti, Tuscany giving a very hystrionic presentation on how to savor a good Chianti. The tourists eat this stuff up. The wine actually is superb along with the food. BTW, Verrazzano is misspelled on the famous bridge. The family of the explorer has been making fine Chianti for over a thousand years.
