The Cornioleta Riserva reveals a deep ruby red in the glass and has a concentrated nose. Aromas of plums and berries emerge. On the palate, it's a full-bodied and rounded red wine, with soft tannins and a long, fruity, spicy finish. It pairs well with Italian cuisine, but can also be enjoyed on its own.

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
The Chianti Cornioleta Riserva is produced only in excellent vintages. The Sangiovese grapes are grown by select producers from the Chianti regions, particularly Rufina and the surrounding area. The quality is exceptionally high, and that is precisely what Renzo Masi strives for. The result is a full-bodied and rounded red wine with soft tannins.
For over 100 years, Masi has been a household name in the Tuscan wine world. The Fattoria di Basciano winery is located in the heart of the Rufina region near Florence. The family has been producing quality wine here for three generations. Their greatest success came under the leadership of the youngest member of the family, Paolo Masi, who remains at the helm today. Consistent work in the vineyard and the use of the latest technologies have led to improvements in the quality of Masi wines. Today, the winery receives numerous awards for its excellent wines.
The Masi family sources the grapes for their wines not only from their own vineyards but also from long-term contract partners who also maintain high quality standards. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand and rigorously selected upon arrival at the winery. Only the very best grapes are used for the final juice. Fermentation with maceration follows for 25 days at a controlled temperature between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius. Finally, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 14 months.
