THE COMPANY
The Marchesi Mazzei family boasts an unparalleled heritage steeped in Tuscan winemaking tradition. Their story begins many centuries ago, in the medieval village of Castello di Fonterutoli, and continues for 24 generations. A village, Fonterutoli, that overlooks the Val d’Elsa, which has belonged to the Mazzei family since 1435, still retains its original appearance as a quiet countryside village: a few houses, the church of San Miniato, and the villa built at the end of the 1500s in place of the fortified castle.
The estate is located a few kilometers south of Castellina, in the heart of Chianti Classico, and encompasses over six hundred hectares of land, of which more than one hundred are planted with vineyards situated in the most beautiful areas of the denomination: Fonterutoli, Siepi, Badiola, Belvedere, and Caggio. Vineyards that have made the history of Chianti Classico, primarily cultivated with Sangiovese, a variety that has found its ideal land here, capable of expressing great aromas and elegance in the higher areas, and structure and power in the lower ones. It is no coincidence that Castello di Fonterutoli is considered one of the most significant estates in all of Chianti Classico, always aimed at seeking new qualitative frontiers, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. A work and a path that have led the wines of the Castle to be renowned worldwide, constituting a reference point for all of Chianti Classico.
But it doesn't end here: the propensity for seeking new challenges and the continuous pursuit of excellence have driven the Mazzei to expand their horizons towards new frontiers in viticulture and winemaking, beyond Chianti Classico, also in the Tuscan Maremma, with Tenuta Belguardo, and in Sicily with Tenuta Zisola. These realities today produce wines with a clear territorial imprint, true ambassadors of their respective denominations.
