Paolo Masi is the talented winemaker behind many of our best-selling Super Tuscans. His Collezione di Paolo Poggerissi is just as charming, with juicy cherry and plum flavors.

Way back in 1930, Paolo Masi’s grandfather founded Fattoria di Basciano in the heart of Chianti’s premium Rufina district. Today, he proudly carries on the family legacy, crafting wines beloved by both customers and critics.

Since graduating top of his class at Florence’s wine university, “Paolo Masi has made an excellent impression with the estate wines of his family’s property,” says top critic Robert Parker of The Wine Advocate. Respected Italian wine guide Gambero Rosso also sings his praises, writing his wines show “irreproachably clean, fresh fruit and abundant personality,” while Wine Spectator has rated his Reserva a “No.1 Outstanding Chianti Buy.”

He’s also a bit of a rebel. To craft his new ‘Poggerissi’ cuvée, Paolo sourced Sangiovese grapes from vineyards in Chianti and from ideally situated plots just outside its borders. That means the wine can’t say Chianti on the label, but you’ll still enjoy all the hallmarks of fine Chianti in the glass.

Look forward to vibrant cherry and plum flavors, supported by hints of marzipan and a savory edge. With structure, food-friendly tannins and a long, fruit-rich finish, it’s the perfect red for a big, Italian-style feast.

Enjoy all the elegance of Chianti––at a much friendlier price. Order your share today.
