History of the Cellar and Producer
The Mazzei family has produced wine at the historic Castello di Fonterutoli estate in Castellina in Chianti since 1435. It represents one of the oldest and most emblematic wine families of Tuscan and international oenology, guardian of almost six centuries of tradition.
Poggio Badiola takes its name from the hill of the same name situated near the winery estate. This wine is born from the union of Sangiovese, symbol of the Tuscan territory, and Merlot, which grants softness and immediacy to the sip. The Magnum presentation (1.5 liters) with its customized wooden case not only adds refined elegance, but also promotes a slow and harmonious evolution of the wine over time.
