Marchesi Mazzei
Fonterutoli Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend


Really nice, moderately intense nose. Dark macerated cherry, fragrant gravel, leather, a spice note. Appropriately lean and flavorful in the mouth. Good acids. A bit of tannin. Flavors have some cherry, but mostly on the savory side, with a slightly pine resiny note. Really nice accompaniment to chicken cacciatore.

Absolutely lovely dried red cherry fruit, fine acidity, medium-long finish, what I think of as a classic Chianti Classico!!

This Chianti has the most beautiful garnet red color that shimmers in the light. The bouquet reveals a variety of fragrances including cherry, raspberry, chocolate, pepper and shale. Rich and solid tannins, somewhat dry and yet well-balanced. Flavors of cherry, rosemary, white pine and French oak. A smooth medium finish that lingers just so!

Cherry, wood, and leather. Is this what the experts call a sexy wine?
