deep in Sicily’s dusty southern reaches

with a crisp backbone and long minerally finish

A cool customer for this warm region and warm vintage with plenty of tannins packing into the relatively sleek silhouette

fresh raspberry and fine notes of crushed wild strawberry associated with fine touches of liquorice

rich texture and a pleasant long-lasting acidity

2022 | Mazzei Castello di Fonterutoli Gran Selezione | Chianti Classico IXSIR Winery deep in Sicily’s dusty southernThe 2022 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello Fonterutoli is a gorgeous, translucent wine. Crushed flowers, cherry, mint, orange peel and cinnamon are all finely sculpted. This understated, elegant Gran Selezione is a total delight. Time in the glass releases layers of inner perfume and bright fruit. Creamy tannins wrap it all together in style. Antonio Galloni, Vinous
