We had this 2011 Monsanto Chianti Reserva with spaghetti. With five years of age on it, the wine was medium-heavy body, yet it was smooth drinking. The label on the back of the bottle explained that this wine was made from 90% Sangiovese and the remainder comprised of Canaiolo and Colorino. We purchased it for around $20.00 and feel that it could be our go to wine for pizzas as well.
I was interested in learning more about Castello di Monsanto located in Tuscany and found an interview conducted by David Lynch:
A Conversation with Laura Bianchi of Castello Monsanto
It is about 10 minutes long, but worth listening to the the daughter of Fabrizio Bianchi who founded the winery after it was presented to him as a wedding gift from his parents in 1962.
