Description
The Mazzei Castello Fonterutoli Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2022 is an elegant, structured, and terroir-driven Tuscan red wine. Made from 100% Sangiovese, it entices with aromas of wild cherry, crushed flowers, and baking spice, balanced by vibrant acidity, velvety tannins, and a long, mineral-driven finish.
Unfurls with bright fruit like sour cherry and fresh red berries, alongside delicate floral notes (violets), mint, and subtle earthy tobacco or spice-box nuances. Medium-to-full-bodied with a harmonious balance between crisp, juicy acidity and creamy, well-integrated tannins. It channels classic Chianti freshness with a distinctive mineral snap from high-altitude vineyards. This wine can age for over 20 years, softening and developing deeper complexity with time.

The 2022 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello Fonterutoli is a gorgeous, translucent wine. Crushed flowers, cherry, mint, orange peel and cinnamon are all finely sculpted. This understated, elegant Gran Selezione is a total delight. Time in the glass releases layers of inner perfume and bright fruit. Creamy tannins wrap it all together in style.
