Castello di Fonterutoli
Castello di Fonterutoli is a historic Chianti Classico estate in Tuscany, Italy, owned by the Mazzei family since 1435 and located near Castellina in Chianti. Known for Sangiovese-led Tuscan wine, Chianti Classico, Chianti Classico Riserva, Gran Selezione and Super Tuscan blends, Fonterutoli combines almost six centuries of heritage with precision viticulture and a state-of-the-art gravity cellar. Castello di Fonterutoli offers a benchmark for Chianti Classico and Tuscan fine wine, with a range that spans regional identity, single-parcel expression and age-worthy red wines.
Read MoreTasting Note
This wine is monumentally built, with aromas of elder, plum, berries, sandalwood and tobacco. The palate is full-bodied and structured, combining ripe fruit, savoury spice, polished oak and impressive depth. Sangiovese brings freshness and lift, while Merlot contributes breadth and texture. The wine is powerful yet balanced, with fine tannins and a refined mouthfeel. The finish is very long, bright and persistent.
Food Pairing
Pair with spiced roast meats, stewed game, aged cheeses, mushrooms, truffles, roast beef, lamb shoulder, wild boar rag? or richly flavoured Tuscan dishes.
