Established in 1435, the Mazzei household has lengthy been thought of one of many founding households of Chianti Classico. This wine, Ser Lapo, is aged for 12 months in small French oak barrels (50% new).
A real crowd-pleaser, Ser Lapo is surprisingly gentle on its ft at 13.5% abv, brisk with cherry and tempered with tea leaf and cola notes, segueing from there into restrained notes of chocolate, nutmeg, and a little bit of orange peel. The tannins listed below are current however well-integrated, shortly unraveling to disclose light notes of oak, sandalwood, and a tart, pickled plum end. Pairs superbly with absolutely anything. Earlier than I knew it, two of us had drained a bottle over a meal of Korean rooster wings. No complaints. Stable worth.
