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.Castello di Fonterutoli
