An aged Chianti with quiet depth and rustic elegance. This 2003 vintage from Paolo Masi reveals soft notes of dried cherry, leather, and subtle spice, mellowed by over two decades of bottle age. Earthy undertones and a whisper of tobacco round out the palate, offering a contemplative, Old World character. Best enjoyed with hearty Tuscan fare—think wild mushroom risotto, aged pecorino, or slow-cooked ragù.
