Winery and Producer History
The Mazzei family has been making wine at the famous estate Castello di Fonterutoli, in Castellina in Chianti, since 1435. It represents one of Italy’s oldest, most historic and authoritative wine houses, custodian of six centuries of excellence.
Philip was created in homage to the celebrated ancestor Philip Mazzei (1730-1816), a physician, philosopher, essayist and viticulturist who promoted Tuscan viticulture in the United States in collaboration with Thomas Jefferson. The Magnum format (1.5 liters), presented in its elegant original wooden case, is the ideal choice to ensure Cabernet Sauvignon evolves more slowly, harmoniously and durably over time."
