Dry red Italian wine (7)
I believe the answer is:
chianti
'dry red italian wine' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for chianti that I've seen before include "Tuscan red wine" , "Chain it to popular Italian wine" , "Italian wine - mountain range" , "Italian wine variety" , "Wine produced in Tuscany" .)
