Description:
The property of the Mazzei family since 1435, Fonterutoli still preserves its original aspect of a tranquil country hamlet. The estate covers a total area of 470 hectares (1,161 acres), 69 hectares of which are devoted to vineyards divided into four separate production zones, Fonterutoli, Siepi, Badiola, and Belvedere, situated at altitudes ranging from 230 to 500 meters (755-1,640 feet). Exposure is to the south and southwest. Fonterutoli's petit vin, made primarily from Sangiovese grapes with a little percentage of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Hand picked from mid to late September and aged in stainless steel tanks, then in small French and American oak barrels for 12 months. The combination of aroma, softness and a good structure makes this wine an extremely modern, pleasant and gratifying beverage.
