Notes

For a twist, use Chianti wine for an authentic Tuscan flavor. Make ahead for an even richer taste—this roast gets better the next day! Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container; it lasts up to 4 days in the fridge. Freeze portions in freezer-safe bags for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight to reheat. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes or crusty bread for a heartwarming dish.
