Castello di Fonterutoli
From woodland edges to stony crests in Tuscany (Toscana), Castello di Fonterutoli reads its vineyards like a topographic map. In Chianti Classico, small shifts in altitude and the alternating bands of alberese and galestro matter, so parcels are picked separately, supported by long-term clonal research, to build Sangiovese with cool aromatics and precise line.The signature comes from many small lots. After gentle maceration—often native‑yeast fermentation—the team manages oak and time with restraint: large botti for tension, selected barriques for depth, and extended time on lees for certain components. Balance is the goal, not sweetness or weight.
A largely gravity‑fed, underground cellar approach limits pumping and preserves texture, turning the estate into a living terroir archive. Each vintage becomes a new calibration of site, fruit and élevage.
