Mazzei Castello Fonterutoil Chianti Classico Gran Selezione (2020)

Established in 1435, the Mazzei family is one of Tuscany’s oldest wine dynasties and they have been cultivating vineyards and crafting fine wine for over 600 years in Fonterutoli in the heart of Chianti Classico. Leading the portfolio today are the Marchesi Mazzei, brothers Francesco and Filippo, as well as Filippo’s son Giovanni, the 25th generation. All the estates are farmed with a commitment to reducing environmental impact and fostering sustainability. From their state-of-the-art low-impact, gravity fed cellar to their massal selections and clonal research, the current generation pursues innovation that elevates their wines and protects their ecosystem. This balance of preservation and evolution is rooted in the Castello di Fonterutoli, the historic family seat.

Bold, dark fruit is accessorized with red plum, citrus peel and subtle spices, which delivers the ideal combination of elegance, structure and minerality. Pairs well with aged cheeses, truffled pasta or egg dishes, hearty stews and braised game meats.
