Happy Halloween! Can Chianti really tango with liver and fava beans, or is that just a culinary mismatch immortalized by pop culture? Join us as we unravel this flavorful mystery, teasing the truth behind Dr. Hannibal Lecter's infamous dinner pairing in Silence of the Lambs. This episode promises to enlighten and entertain. Travel back to the 13th century Tuscany and learn how Chianti evolved from white to the rich red icon of today, boasting the robust Sangiovese grape and a distinctive Black Rooster emblem. We’ll even share the medieval legend that put this proud rooster on the map! So pour yourself a glass, and let’s toast to Chianti’s notable place in both wine history and pop culture.
