Which of these reds with my garlic sirloin?

So I went with the Rocca and found it to be quite nice...but also quite rough.

Is it a common Chianti characteristic to have a real woody/tree bark/mouth drying feel to it? It was kind of weird, the fruits were real nice in the wine, definite berry flavours and it was relatively light, but it also had this characteristic where the roof of my mouth just totally dried out...almost like what happens when you eat an apple strudel and the pastry dries out the roof of your mouth.
