Mazzei Castello di Fonterutoli, Gran Selezione, 2019

Bright & Polished Chianti Classico Gran Selezione

"Since 2017, the Mazzei family produces three separate Gran Selezione to highlight separate communes. Crafted from holdings in Castellina, Castello Fonterutoli exhibits wood-driven aromas of cedar, cinnamon and clove. It's an exuberant mouthful with cherry and plum still wrapped up in oak. The tannins are polished, with graininess adding texture. There's a spike of racy acidity toward the finish which brings in mint and violet notes.".
