Renzo Masi
The Masi family has been making wine for three generations. It currently produces a wide range of wines (white rose red and dessert) from a variety of grapes all of which come from vineyards owned by the family in Rufina (Fattoria di Basciano) and from other long-established vineyards situated around Rufina (except for the Bianco Vergine Valdichiana). Currently Paolo Masi carries out the family's philosophy of producing excellent quality/price related wines. Paolo emphasizes the long term relationship of cooperation with each grower. He consults with them in the vineyard to obtain the highest quality and will pay higher prices for lower yields in the interest of better wine.
Description
Intense aromas and flavours of ripe red cherry, blackberry and violets. It has spicy but elegant overtones and a round, full texture which offers a great sense of integrity and wholesomeness. The close and aftertaste are balanced and lingering.
Food Pairing
Basciano Chianti Rufina represents a perfect match for pasta dishes and any grilled meats in the Tuscan and Italian tradition. It will also pair very well with South African braais and medium-ripe cheeses.
