Appearance
Bright ruby red with youthful, violet highlights.

Nose
Aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and cranberry mingle with earthy notes of dried herbs, leather, and subtle hints of spice. A touch of violet and a faint whisper of tobacco round out the aromatic profile.

Palate
Medium-bodied and smooth, with flavors of ripe cherry, red plum, and raspberry balanced by a fresh acidity. Fine tannins add structure, while hints of clove, anise, and a light earthy minerality contribute complexity to the mid-palate, making it both elegant and approachable.

Finish
Clean and slightly tangy, the finish is refreshing with lingering notes of red fruit and a hint of herbal spice, showing off its Tuscan character.

Overall Impression
The 2023 Renzo Masi Chianti is a versatile, inviting wine that beautifully represents the Chianti DOCG style. With its balance of fruit, acidity, and tannins, it’s an excellent choice for pairing with Italian dishes, grilled meats, or simply to enjoy on its own.
