Description
Loads of bright, fresh fruit, fascinating savoury notes and, plenty of juicy acidity. It’s as good as Chianti gets at this price point.
“A solid, well-shaped, focused and vibrant riserva with aromas of wild currants, Morello cherries, warm herbs and baking spices. It’s medium-bodied with fine, firm tannins, yet it has so much intensity and drive. Structured and balanced, with great energy at the center. Succulent and agile, with a lively core of juicy forest berries mingling with the dried herbs and funneling toward the focused, medium finish.” – James Suckling
With this outstanding Chianti Classico Riserva, Marquis Mazzei celebrates their notable ancestor Ser Lapo, author of the first official document mentioning “Chianti wine”. Ruby red colour with violet nuances. On the nose, bright aromas of fresh cherries mingle with notes of thyme and a subtle smoky character. Bright acid structure providing a lively quality. Cranberry, raspberry, and red cherry dominate with hints of leather, cedar, and cocoa powder. Some earthiness in the finish and ripe soft tannins.
90% Sangiovese | 10% Merlot
Food pairings include pasta with game sauce, stews, grilled red meats, and mid-aged cheeses.
For 26 generations, the Mazzei family has been producing benchmark Italian wines from their historic Castello di Fonterutoli estate in Tuscany and more recently in the Maremma, Sicily and the Veneto.
