Anything Similar to Chianti Ruffino Gold Label?

[Zinner]

Yes, Foodie is very close. It's Michele Chiarlo and the Barbera d'Asti is always a very nice value, selling for under $10 around here. Not Chianti, mind you, but certainly worth trying.

Chiarlo also makes a very pretty value-priced sweet (aperitif or dessert) wine--Moscato d'Asti Nivole. It's light and spritzy and comes in a lovely bottle, so it makes a nice gift wine.
