    In the heart of the Chianti Classico region, where the hills of Castellina in Chianti, Castelnuovo Berardenga and Radda in Chianti meet, lies the historic Castello di Fonterutoli estate. Owned by the Marchesi Mazzei family since 1435, this Chianti Classico epitomises a centuries-old winemaking tradition. The grapes come from 114 individually managed plots at altitudes ranging from 220 to 570 metres, each with its own microclimate and terroir. Composed mainly of Sangiovese, complemented by small proportions of Malvasia Nera and Colorino, each plot is vinified and aged separately to preserve the exceptional diversity of aromas and complexity.

    A vibrant ruby red with violet hues. The nose reveals intense aromas of ripe cherries and wild berries, framed by Mediterranean herbs, tobacco leaf and a subtle minerality. On the palate, the wine is structured and elegant, with silky tannins that are perfectly integrated with the fresh acidity. Notes of red fruits blend with spices such as rosemary and black pepper, whilst the final features the typical Chianti minerality, Sangiovese acidity and a subtle hint of oak, ensuring length and ageing potential. An authentic expression of its terroir, offering an ideal balance between power and finesse. SUPERIORE.DE

    "The Mazzei 2023 Chianti Classico Fonterutoli is a blend of 90% Sangiovese, 5% Malvasia Nera and 5% Colorino, and is characterised by lovely intensity and good overall balance. It is a classic Chianti Classico in the truest sense of the word, with lively cherry aromas, spicy notes and the extra richness and concentration typical of this vintage. The wine remains pleasantly balanced and approachable. The grapes come from seven different vineyard sites at altitudes ranging from 220 to 570 metres." Wine Advocate

    "The Fonterutoli Chianti Classico 2023 is a lovely, approachable wine that can be enjoyed now and over the next few years. Crushed flowers, bright red fruits, lavender, cedar wood and orange peel lend it a remarkable aromatic presence. This medium-bodied Chianti Classico is very charming." Vinous

    "This red wine features lively aromas of cherry, raspberry and spices, underpinned by dense, dusty tannins. It captivates with its intensity and a delicate finish with hints of foliage and undergrowth." Wine Spectator

    "A complex Gallo Nero, which, alongside dark cherries, floral notes and earthy depth, also exhibits hints of graphite and a touch of minerality. Very juicy and supple, with medium body, crisp acidity and ripe, velvety tannins." James Suckling
