Chianti Classico

Riserva

Fonterutoli's Riserva pays homage to forefather Ser Lapo Mazzei, who penned the first known document referencing Chianti wine. It's selected from the Caggio vineyards which occupy the estate's lower plots at 220 to 350 metres. 

The hefty 50% new oak is well integrated and polished, adding nuances of fragrant cedar, sandalwood and sweet spices. A savoury meatiness joins in on the palate, with tannins building steadily to the finish. Not overly muscular or robust, this is a well proportioned, balanced wine.
