Riserva Bronzone Morellino di Scansano Sangiovese 2016
Medium ruby, garnet with a wide garnet rim . Quite discreet no the nose with dried herbs and red cherries , touch of smoky raspberry and strawberry . On the palate ripe red fruits , with a hint of spice from the oak , dried herbs and a hint of black tea . Good balanced , fresh acidity and fine tannin , with balanced alcohol and a medium length finish . Drink now and over the next 4-6 years. Qualitatively, this is at the level of the 2019 I tried recently , and is in its peak drinking window . — 10 months ago

A compelling, historical and sophisticated Chianti Classico Riserva dedicated to the Mazzei’s notable ancestor, Ser Lapo, known as the “father” of the Chianti wine appellation in Tuscany. The V.2016 also had a composition blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot. This wine as a “Riserva” under the Chianti Classic Classification system has to be aged a min of 24 months in barrels including 3 months in the bottle prior release.
Decanted for 35 Mins served as an opener of an Italian-inspired dishes, made it a perfect amplifier to appreciate the balance of freshness, richness and complexity. The acidity remains at the perfect point and the red cherries and fig notes are quite palpable from the very beginning, the wine dances in your palate, it jumps on flavor of cherry, tobacco leaf, toasted spices and fresh herbs notes come out alive from the glass, as an overall this wine dances in your mouth with great harmony of the juiciness and integrated medium plus tannins.
The label is another great release from Mazzei family, which is one of Tuscany’s oldest wine dynasties (25 winemaking generations for 600+ years. The script at the top of this wine label is a reproduction of a historic correspondence of a document dated December 16, 1398 that addresses this “father” of Chianti.
Simply lovely, cheers! — 18 hours ago
