...And it pairs beautifully with fava beans! Your Hannibal Red Blend Wine Kit with Fresh Skins Option - Finer Wine Kits Tavola Series was formally called the Cali Chianti Wine Kit.

The blend replaces the traditional Canaiolo with Merlot and Petite Sirah, adding a delightful twist to the flavor profile while maintaining signature flavors of a Chianti. These two grapes infuse the wine with spicy and dark fruit flavors that perfectly complement the cherry-forward dominance of Sangiovese, capturing the essence of a Chianti, but with a fresh perspective. This high quality wine kit will transport your senses to the vineyards of Tuscany in just one sip. 

With the Finer Wine Kits Hannibal Red Blend Wine Kit, you're not just making wine; you're creating a sensory journey.

This is more than winemaking, it's an exploration of flavors and the joy of creating a wine that's as unique as you are. So why wait? Embark on your winemaking adventure today.

The Tavola Series reds are the most versatile Finer Wine Kits available. Based on your preferences, your results can range between lighter and medium bodied wines depending on if you make them with no skins, a single or double skin pack. Double skins give the wine a richer tannin profile similar to a Forte Series kit but with a more subtle flavor profile because of a lower ABV. Tavola wines made with double skin packs have deeper color and heavier body, but require longer aging (6 - 12 months.) A single skin pack will also improve the tannins and body but will require less aging (4-6 months.) Using no skins produces a great light to medium bodied wine that is ready to drink the fastest (6 - 12 weeks.) Kits with double skin packs also come with oak cubes which impart more vanilla qualities.
