The Fonterutoli 2013 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG is an iconic wine that embodies the excellence of the historic Mazzei family, one of the oldest winemaking dynasties in Italy, active since 1435. Produced on the picturesque Fonterutoli estate, nestled in the heart of Chianti Classico, this wine celebrates the unique Tuscan terroir and the mastery of a winery committed to quality and innovation.
The 2013 vintage, marked by ideal weather for balanced grape ripening, has delivered a wine of extraordinary depth and complexity. Made primarily from Sangiovese, with the addition of a small percentage of native varietals, it boasts an intense ruby-red color and an elegant bouquet of cherries, plums, sweet spices, and hints of aromatic herbs. On the palate, it is structured and persistent, with fine tannins and a perfect balance of freshness and intensity.
Fonterutoli 2013 is a unique expression of Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, ideal for pairing with refined dishes such as red meats, game, or aged cheeses. This wine tells the story of the Mazzei family's passion for their land and their centuries-long dedication to winemaking excellence.
