Mazzei Fonterutoli Chianti Classico 2022

Mazzei Fonterutoli Chianti Classico 2022 is a benchmark expression of the renowned Castello di Fonterutoli estate, embodying centuries of Tuscan winemaking heritage. Cultivated from seven distinct vineyard sites with varying soil compositions and altitudes, this wine showcases a brilliant ruby red hue. On the nose, it delivers an inviting and lively bouquet of ripe Morello cherries, wild strawberries, and forest berries, complemented by elegant layers of dried violets, wild thyme, warm spices, and a whisper of dry clay minerality. The palate is succulent, bright, and beautifully medium-bodied, framed by fine-grained tannins and a crisp, refreshing core of acidity. Expert maturation adds subtle structural depth and savory notes, resulting in a vibrant, agile finish that authentically captures the heart of the Chianti Classico terroir.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with rich Venetian duck ragù, grilled rosemary-garlic lamb chops, hearty pappardelle with wild boar, eggplant parmigiana, or aged Tuscan pecorino cheese.
