Cantina and Producer History
The Mazzei family has produced wine at Castello di Fonterutoli since 1435, representing one of the historical pillars and most prestigious in Chianti Classico and world winemaking. With almost six centuries of uninterrupted dedication to viticulture, the company safeguards a deep knowledge of its terroirs.
"Fonterutoli" originates from a careful selection of 120 different plots located in the territory of Castellina in Chianti. The Magnum format (1.5 liters) with its original collectible wooden case not only adds great elegance to the presentation but also represents the ideal choice to guarantee a slower, more homogeneous and longer evolution of the wine over time."
