The most famous of these properties is undoubtedly Castello di Fonterutoli. Located in the heart of Tuscany's Chianti Classico region, this historic Domaine estate extends over several hundred hectares of rocky terrain. The age-old knowledge of the Mazzei family brings out the best in the grape varieties grown here: sangiovese, malvasia, colorino, merlot and cabernet sauvignon. In order to express the complexity of the grapes and the Extraordinary range of aromas, the 114 plots are harvested by hand and then aged in wood on a parcel-by-parcel basis. The result is wines of excellence, a benchmark for the Chianti Classico region.
Tasting notes:
An exceptional Tuscan wine, this cuvée was born in 1981 and celebrates its 40th anniversary with this vintage. A harmonious blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, the result, after ageing in oak, is an elegant wine with powerful aromas. In the glass, it has a deep ruby color with brilliant highlights. On the nose, it exudes intense aromas of black cherry, blackberry and blueberry. Herbaceous notes and a hint of spice follow. On the palate, the wine is juicy and very rich. The attack is greedy, with black fruit aromas. The tannins are supple and perfectly integrated. The long, persistent finish offers elegant aromas of leather and tobacco.
