The wine

Description and technical sheet

Mazzei's Fonterutoli 2024 expresses Chianti Classico DOCG through the diversity of the vineyards around Castellina in Chianti. A signature wine of Castello di Fonterutoli, it combines the fruit and spice of Sangiovese with a poised, approachable structure.

Fonterutoli vineyards and the 2024 growing season

The grapes are sourced from seven vineyard areas at elevations of 220–570 metres. Stony soils, predominantly Alberese limestone with marl, create a mosaic of growing conditions. Vinifying the parcels separately allows the estate to preserve their distinctive characteristics before blending.

In 2024, a wet spring was followed by a warm summer. Careful vineyard management and selection of the harvested bunches played an important role in achieving the desired quality.

Grapes, winemaking and maturation

The blend comprises 90% Sangiovese, 5% Malvasia Nera and 5% Colorino. Fermentation takes place at 26–28°C, with 16–18 days of maceration. The wine then spends 12 months in 225- and 500-litre French oak barrels and a further 30–45 days in concrete tanks before bottling.

Flavour, food pairing and cellaring

The estate describes an elegantly proportioned wine, showing dark berry fruit and fresh spices, an intense palate and a smooth finish. Its versatility makes it a good partner for pasta with game ragù, grilled meat and aged cheeses. A suggested serving temperature is 16–18°C. Mazzei indicates an ageing potential of up to 15 years under suitable conditions. 750 ml; contains sulphites.
