A benchmark expression of Chianti Classico, the 2022 Mazzei Fonterutoli captures the essence of Tuscany with precision and elegance. Crafted predominantly from sangiovese, this wine reflects over six centuries of winemaking heritage from the renowned Mazzei family.
In the glass, it opens with lifted aromas of ripe red cherries, wild berries, and subtle hints of violet, layered with notes of spice, tobacco, and a touch of earthy minerality. The palate is vibrant yet refined, with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and a beautifully balanced structure that carries through to a long, savoury finish.

Tasting Notes
Natalie Mclean writes "Mazzei Fonterutoli 2022 Chianti Classico pours a bright ruby with a fragrant bouquet of ripe Morello cherry, wild strawberry and blood orange zest, underscored by dried violet petals and a whisper of thyme. On the palate it has a medium body and is lively, driven by crisp acidity and fine-grained tannins that frame layers of red fruit compote, savory leather and tobacco-leaf notes. Mid-palate herb tones—oregano and sage—meld into a persistent finish marked by chalky clay minerality and a touch of clove spice. Pairs very well with grilled rosemary-garlic lamb chops, pappardelle with wild boar ragù or a board of aged Tuscan pecorino and prosciutto."
Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast writes "On the nose, bitter orange pushes back on a cherry sweetness, which is heightened by a splash of vanilla, while savory undertones of graphite and wild herbs provide balance. These notes continue cavorting on the palate, while tannins and acid stand at attention."
