Natalie's Score: 92/100

A full-bodied 90% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot Chianti Classico Riserva from the Tuscany wine region, fragrant with ripe strawberry and fresh cherry aromas on the nose. Juicy with ripe cherry, red berry and dark plum flavours on the palate matched with great acidity for food like a meaty lasagne or roast pork. Tannins are ripe and smooth.

Chianti Classico food pairings: ravioli, beef stew, pizza, pork chops.

Mazzei Ser Lapo 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva is a dry, medium-plus-bodied, mouth-watering red wine blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot. Fragrant with ripe red and dark berries, earthy florals and dried herbs. Enjoy now with beef or lamb stews or a meat-lover's pizza topped with cheese. - Community Wine Reviews
