R104847 - 2019 Chianti Classico Fonterutoli (12 Bottles)

A long-lasting bond unites the Mazzei family wits Tuscany and wines since the XI century. Ser Lapo Mazzei is the author of the first known document to use the "Chianti" denomination in 1398; in 1435, when his granddaughter Madonna Smeralda Mazzei married Piero di Agnolo da Fonterutoli, the holding became part of the family's estate. Since then, for 24 generations, the Mazzei family produces wine at Castello di Fonterutoli, which even after its recent expansion still remains the beating heart of the company. The true link between the past and the future, the Fonterutoli Winery dominates the estate and farm slopes looking to Siena from a vantage point. The modern winery is today managed by Agnese Mazzei who can take advantage of her families centuries-old knowledge of wine making. With its dark berry and fresh spice flavors the Chianti Classico has a very intense and smooth taste and is the perfect complement to with dark sauce pastas or BBQ.
