Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG Castello di Fonterutoli

Notes - Notes - Owned by the Mazzei family since 1435 the Fonterutoli estate is unique in Tuscany, and is centred around the eponymous hamlet, five kilometres south of Castellina in Chianti. The estate measures around 500 hectares in total and is divided among four key production areas: Fonterutoli (planted with Sangiovese and Merlot); Siepi (planted with Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon); Badiola (Sangiovese and Merlot) and Belvedere (Sangiovese). With an extraordinary combination of power and elegance, the Riserva interprets in a unique way the potential for Sangiovese, displaying ripe red berry, blackberry, blackcurrant, vanilla, chocolate and spicy characters alongside a muscular structure and a defiant finish. A real mouthful. Exquisite with pasta and sun-dried tomatoes, olive and goat cheese, roast turkey with country ham stuffing and port wine gravy or a rack of lamb with red-currant wine sauce. 10% Cabernet, 90% Sangiovese.
