Producer Information
Mazzei is a family wine company which owns Castello di Fonterutoli in Chianti Classico, Belguardo in Maremma and Zisola on the island of Sicily. This estate in Chianti Classico has been owned by the Mazzei family (and company) since 1435. It makes a range of classic regional wines, primarily from Sangiovese. This includes Siepi, a Super Tuscan blend of Merlot and Sangiovese falling under the IGT Toscana designation, and several Chianti Classico wines. The estate lies just north of Siena (and the hamlet of Fonterutoli has views of the city), in the heart of Chianti, covering 650 hectares (1606 acres) of land. There are five vineyards on the estate, all with very different terroirs. The Fonterutoli and Siepi vineyards, together totalling around 40 hectares (100 acres) are the two most important, and provide grapes for the top wines. Generally, the soils in the vineyards are rocky and limestone-rich, and along with the sunny exposition of the vineyards, are perfectly suited to winegrowing. Nine wines are regularly produced under the Castello di Fonterutoli name. The Castello Fonterutoli Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG is the pinnacle of the collection and is made from a blend of Sangiovese, Colorino and Malvasia Nera. The grapes are all handpicked and the wine is aged for 20 months in small French oak barriques before it is blended, bottled and released. There are two other top labels. The Vicoregio 36, a self-styled "avantgarde" Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, comes from a vineyard of the same name boasting 36 different biotypes of the Sangiovese grape. The vineyard lies in Castelnuovo Berardenga, 30km (18 miles) southeast of Fonterutoli and due east of Siena.
