Mazzei-Castello di Fonterutoli Chianti Classico 2020

95+ points Luca Gardini: "One of the company’s bishops, comes from a mosaic of 120 different parcels. Sangiovese with Malvasia Nera, Colorino and Merlot, aged for 12 months in barrique and tonneau. Red currant on the nose, with hints of cinnamon and bitter licorice, iodized on the palate, with hints of sensations of small fruits and sweet spices. (Jun 2024)"

93 points James Suckling: "Perfumed, with flowers, dark berries and some raspberries. Medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and firm tannins. Hints of chocolate and berries. Flavorful finish. Needs a little time to open, but already precise and focused. Drink or hold. (7/4/22)"

92 points Falstaff Guide: "Ruby red. On the nose there are notes of red fruit, berries, floral notes of violet and sweet vanilla spice. Soft on the palate, with good structure and pleasant fruit. Long finish, pleasant freshness. (12/2/22)"

91 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Chianti Classico Fonterutoli is 90% Sangiovese blended with small parts Malvasia Nera and Colorino, all aged in oak for an easy 12 months. This wine offers a classic interpretation from Castellina in Chianti with bright fruit, lots of cherry, background tones of earth and crushed flowers. You will appreciate the basic energy and finesse of this wine. Drink: 2022-2027. (Feb 2023)"

90 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2020 Chianti Classico Fonterutoli is deep, bold and luscious, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Dark cherry, plum, incense, tobacco and chocolate give this fleshy Chianti Classico a good deal of appeal. Drink: 2022-2028. (Jul 2022)"
