🍷 A Noble Tribute to Chianti’s Heritage
Named after Ser Lapo Mazzei, the historical figure behind the first documented use of "Chianti" in 1398, this Riserva embodies centuries of Tuscan winemaking wisdom in every glass.

🍷 In the Glass
A classic ruby garnet hue, reflecting both youth and ageing potential.

👃 On the Nose
Enticing aromas of Morello cherry, baking spice, worn leather, and cigar box emerge with nuance and depth.

🍽 On the Palate
Bright cherry fruit takes the lead, wrapped in earthy undertones, tobacco leaf, and a gentle touch of black pepper. Silky tannins are finely structured, while vibrant acidity and mineral tension keep the wine fresh and food-friendly.

🍝 Food Pairing
A perfect match for Tuscan classics—think bistecca alla fiorentina, wild mushroom risotto, or herb-roasted lamb.

⏳ Ageing Potential
Approachable now with decanting, yet worthy of cellaring for up to 10–12 years.

💫 Why You’ll Love It
‘Ser Lapo’ is the soul of traditional Chianti Classico Riserva—elegant, savoury, and richly layered. It delivers authenticity with finesse and celebrates a lineage that helped define a world-renowned wine region.
