Why shop with us?
Fonterutoli Chianti Classico Ser Lapo 1991 is a beautifully matured Tuscan red from one of the region’s most respected estates, offering the depth and character that only time in bottle can create. Crafted from Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, it combines Chianti Classico heritage with a more refined, modern structure, making it a standout choice for collectors and lovers of aged Italian wine.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red color that reflects both its age and its concentration. The bouquet is layered and expressive, with ripe dark fruit, warm spices, and notes of tobacco unfolding alongside hints of leather and earth.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex, with balanced acidity and supple tannins that give the wine a graceful, polished feel. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of spice and mature fruit. While already beautifully evolved, it still has enough structure to hold for a few more years under ideal conditions.
Production
Produced in Tuscany’s Chianti Classico zone, this wine reflects the character of the Fonterutoli estate, where hillside vineyards benefit from excellent sun exposure and well-drained soils. The blend of Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot brings together regional identity and added depth, with careful vinification designed to preserve freshness, structure, and aromatic complexity. The 1991 vintage has spent decades aging in bottle, developing the secondary and tertiary notes that make it especially compelling today.
Food & Serving
Best served at 18–20°C, this wine is an excellent match for grilled or roasted red meats, game, and mature cheeses. A short decant is recommended to help the aromas open up, especially if the bottle has been stored for a long time.
