deep in Sicily’s dusty southern reaches

with a crisp backbone and long minerally finish

as well as hints of flint and sandalwood

sweet cedar

That gives it a good depth of flavor as well as wood acidity that shines through at the end

2022 | Mazzei Castello di Fonterutoli Gran Selezione | Chianti Classico IXSIR Winery deep in Sicily’s dusty southernThe 2022 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello Fonterutoli is a gorgeous, translucent wine. Crushed flowers, cherry, mint, orange peel and cinnamon are all finely sculpted. This understated, elegant Gran Selezione is a total delight. Time in the glass releases layers of inner perfume and bright fruit. Creamy tannins wrap it all together in style. Antonio Galloni, Vinous
