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 combines elegance, structure and mineral character. The palate is refined and composed, with concentrated red and dark fruit, savoury detail and a firm mineral line. Medium to full-bodied, it shows depth without heaviness, supported by polished tannins and integrated oak. The finish is long, structured and precise, reflecting the limestone-rich soils and high-quality Castellina in Chianti parcels.
Food Pairing
Pair with game, stews, braised beef, roast lamb, porcini mushrooms, aged Pecorino, mature cheeses or savoury Tuscan meat dishes.
