Mazzei - Castello di Fonterutoli - Chianti Classico Fonterutoli 1994
The Chianti Classico Fonterutoli 1994 by Mazzei is a refined expression of Tuscany, produced mainly from Sangiovese grapes. Its intense ruby red color with garnet reflections precedes a complex bouquet, with notes of ripe fruit, spices, leather, and tobacco. On the palate, it is structured, elegant, with soft tannins and a persistent finish, ideal for aging.
