Product Notes

Mazzei - Castello di Fonterutoli Ser Lapo Chianti Classico Riserva is a sophisticated Italian wine, hailed from the legendary Mazzei family vineyards in Tuscany. Displaying an elegant ruby red hue, the wine's sensorial characteristics feature intense aromas of ripe red fruits complemented by hints of spice. The palate is enraptured by a harmonious symphony of cherry, blackberry and sweet spice, culminating in an extended, velvety finish. Expertly composed of predominantly Sangiovese grapes with a dash of Merlot, the Chianti Riserva championed veneration for its finesse, complexity, and profound maturity. It is a splendid companion to richly flavoured dishes.

Tasting Notes

Fresh, tannic, with aroma of berries, strong structure, earthy and intense taste
