As a past winner of the ’Best Sangiovese’ Trophy at the world’s biggest wine show in Vienna, Paolo Masi is a master of Chianti’s famous grape. It makes up half the blend alongside Cabernet Sauvignon in this delicious, rule breaking estate red.

The Wine
We’ve been sourcing wines from the Masi family’s estate in premium Rufina, just east of Florence, for 20 years now. The original winemaker Renzo Masi handed over to his son Paolo in the 1990s and Paolo’s superb, highly affordable Tuscan wines secure medals year after year. As influential Italian wine guide Gambero Rosso notes, Paolo makes “wines with abundant personality”. Erta e China is one of his top wines, which often receives ‘excellent’ 90+ scores. Wine Advocate writes: “You can’t beat this value.” It’s a rule breaker, blending Cabernet with Sangiovese, hence its Toscana IGT status. Aged for 14 months in French oak barriques, the result is a fine, dense red with dark cherry and mocha notes. Ideal with game or pasta with meatballs.
