“Spiced cherries and red plums with hints of cedar and nutshells …polished and even … a fresh, red-fruited character…91pts” (James Suckling).
This sumptuous Tuscan treasure comes from our good friend of over 30 years, the great Paolo Masi, who makes wines with “abundant personality” (Wine Enthusiast). This one is made with fruit from his beautiful estate in Rufina – arguably Chianti’s finest sub-region, home to “particularly elegant wines” (Hugh Johnson). Paolo’s land is a prime spot for Sangiovese, placed on a par with Chianti Classico since the 18th century. Indeed, Paolo has a trophy cabinet packed full of awards for his lavish Tuscan reds, including “outstanding” Chianti buy of the year from Wine Spectator. One taste of this elegant beauty shows why. It's a wonderful food wine, and a natural match with Italian food.
