Fonterutoli Chianti Classico 2023

Fonterutoli Chianti Classico 2023 is the flagship wine of Castello di Fonterutoli and one of the estate’s most sought-after bottlings. Sourced from 120 individual parcels across the heart of Chianti Classico, it captures the complexity of the area’s varied soils and microclimates in a single, elegant expression of Sangiovese. With deep roots in one of Tuscany’s most historic wine families, it represents both tradition and precision.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a vivid ruby-red colour with youthful brightness. The nose is expressive and layered, with notes of red cherry, wild berries, violets, and hints of Mediterranean herbs, supported by a subtle savoury edge. On the palate, it is fresh and refined, with fine tannins, bright acidity, and a clean, mineral-driven finish. The balance of fruit and structure makes it highly versatile at the table, while its classic Chianti Classico character suggests good short- to medium-term ageing potential.

Production
This wine is sourced from 120 parcels spread across a remarkable range of pedoclimatic conditions, at altitudes from 220 to 550 metres above sea level in the core of Chianti Classico. The diversity of exposures, soils, and elevations adds depth and nuance to the final blend. Harvesting is carried out parcel by parcel at optimal ripeness, with vinification designed to preserve the freshness, perfume, and varietal character of Sangiovese.

Food & Serving
A natural match for Tuscan cuisine, this wine pairs beautifully with pasta dishes featuring tomato-based sauces, grilled meats, roast chicken, and aged pecorino. It is best served slightly cool, around 16–18°C, and benefits from a short decant of 20–30 minutes if opened young.

Producer
