The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 'Castello Fonterutoli' by Mazzei, born in 1995, anticipating the Gran Selezione, starting from the 2017 vintage comes from the 11 best plots of the vineyards surrounding the village of Fonterutoli. In Castellina in Chianti, the microclimate is the result of a perfect balance between a medium-high hilly area and the vineyards facing the Val d’Elsa, which brings warmth to the entire upper area. Here, there are significant temperature variations due to the cool currents coming from the woods overlooking the vines during the night. An ideal microclimate that, combined with the characteristics of the soil rich in alberese rocks, offers a perfect combination of elegance, structure, and minerality.
