Chianti Classico Le Masse di Greve Riserva
Masse di Greve is a 70 year old, 10.8 ha single vineyard rooted in shale soils at 300-400m in Greve. This field blend is dominated by Sangiovese (over 90%), but also includes many other autochthonous varieties including Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo, Colorino, Malvasia Nera and Mamolo. The Riserva is a barrel selection of the winery’s finest grapes. This wine was fermented in stainless over 3 weeks before 16-24 months’ rest in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th year barriques, prior to 6 months in bottle before release. Wild and dried cherry, raspberry, autumnal leaves is woven throughout the medium palate, studded with mineral salts and buoyed by a lifted acidity which carries this through a lingering saline finish. Tannins are well absorbed into the fruit at this stage, elegantly framing, and welcoming food pairings like pork tenderloin or ragu. In a lovely place right now.
“A pretty Chianti Classico Riserva that shows lilacs, rose petals, nutmeg and spices. Medium-bodied, tightly wound and quite taut on the palate. Refined and elegant. Drink now.” - 92 points, James Suckling
