FONTERUTOLI CHIANTI CLASSICO 20

Established in 1435, the Mazzei family is one of Tuscany’s oldest wine dynasties and they have been cultivating vineyards and crafting fine wine for over 600 years in Fonterutoli in the heart of Chianti Classico. Leading the portfolio today are the Marchesi Mazzei, brothers Francesco and Filippo, as well as Filippo’s son Giovanni, the 25th generation. While the family has always honored their legacy, producing acclaimed wines, they are also leaders in viticulture and vinification and they farm with a commitment to reducing environmental impact and fostering sustainability across their 110 hectares comprised of 114 unique vineyard parcels in Chianti Classico. From their state-of-the-art low-impact, gravity fed cellar to their massal selections and clonal research, the current generation pursues innovation that elevates their wines and protects their ecosystem.

Tasting Notes:
Ripe black cherries with orange peel notes lead to a medium-bodied wine with velvety tannins brimming with berries and hints of chocolate and spice
