Mazzei Fonterutoli, Chianti Classico DOCG, Italy 2004

Description

From the historic estate of Castello di Fonterutoli in the heart of Chianti Classico, the 2004 Mazzei Fonterutoli reflects a vintage noted for balance and classical structure. The wine is driven primarily by Sangiovese, supported by small portions of complementary varieties to enhance depth and refinement.

With over two decades of evolution, the bouquet has moved into tertiary complexity, offering dried cherry, red currant, leather, cedar, and forest floor. Subtle balsamic tones and warm spice emerge with air. The palate is medium bodied and finely structured, with resolved tannins and vibrant acidity that preserves definition and lift.

The finish is graceful and persistent, marked by savory nuance and a lingering mineral impression. A mature and composed expression of Chianti Classico from Italy, showing the longevity and elegance of the 2004 vintage.
