Mazzei Ser Lapo Chianti Classico Riserva 2018

Tuscany, ItalySer Lapo is a 90/10 mix of sangiovese and merlot that, in 2018, is something to behold. HJ called it seamless, and Treve mentioned its stony acidity, which leads me to a wine that is effortlessly complex yet inviting. The fruit is round and lush, offering dark cherry, all of which take on its 50 percent new oak, adding yet another layer of weight and complexity without interfering with its heritage. It is a drink or hold wine, depending on how much fruit you like in your Chianti. Impressive for the price.Tasted: 12 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:
