About the Producer

The Masi family has been making wine for three generations. It currently produces a wide range of wines (white, rose, red and dessert) from a variety of grapes all of which come from vineyards owned by the family in Rufina (“Fattoria di Basciano”) and from other long-established vineyards situated around Rufina (except for the “Bianco Vergine Valdichiana”). Currently, Paolo Masi carries out the family's philosophy of producing excellent quality/price related wines. Paolo emphasizes the long term relationship of cooperation with each grower. He consults with them in the vineyard to obtain the highest quality and will pay higher prices for lower yields in the interest of better wine.

Renzo Masi's Chianti is made from a combination of estate fruit and purchased fruit from the Rufina district, one of the best areas of Chianti. It is produced for early drinkability but can also be cellared for a few years.

Vinification

A classical red wine vinification is utilized followed by a period of maceration (skin contact). The actual maceration lasts about 25 days.

Ageing

The wine completes its malolactic fermentation in the weeks following the racking and then is aged in oak barrels for about 14 months. Before its release, it matures in bottles for at least three months.

Tasting Notes

Intense, ruby red colour. Extremely perfumed and aromatic nose, with fresh fruit (cherry and raspberry) and floral flavours. On the palate Renzo Masi Chianti Riserva is smooth and balanced, with medium body and silky texture.

Analysis

13.5% alcohol, 3.8 gr/l residual sugar, pH 3.6, 5.2 gr/l total acidity.

Food Suggestions

Renzo Masi Chianti Riserva represents a perfect match for fresh and seasoned cheeses, grilled or roast meats and will accompany any dish of the Italian Cuisine. It never fails to over-deliver, making it an Italian classic.

Serving temperature: 18°C.

Cellar

Although ready to drink, Renzo Masi Chianti Riserva will benefit further from 2-3 years aging under suitable conditions.

Renzo Masi Chianti Riserva 2018

I have not yet tried this wine as it is my intention to mature it for another 2-3yrs which I believe it's the outer time limit to its full maturity. I look forward to hopefully enjoying it then and will provide my review.

Earthy and complex

I made wild mushroom risotto for dinner and this was a match made in heaven! On opening this wine has a strong oaky almost corked aroma and improved significantly when decanted and left for 30 minutes. Sour red cherry, oak spice, leather and earthy notes on the nose. Bone dry with prominent tannins with that rich earthy cherry carrying through onto the palate with baking spices and stewed blackcurrant. Chalky tannins and a lingering sour cherry finish. Great intensity, balance and complexity.

The Chianti Riserva Corioletta is a beautiful, soft and flavory drinking red wine. I would definitely recommend and order again from Vino.co.za
