History
Castello di Fonterutoli has been the heart and soul of the Marchesi Mazzei story and wine-production for nearly 600 years. Owned by the family since 1435 the estate still retains its original form, that of a tranquil country village, surrounded by 650 hectares of wood, vineyards and olive groves. A cluster of houses, the church of San Miniato and the villa, built at the end of the 1500s, tell the story of a family deeply rooted in the Tuscan tradition.
Today, after almost six centuries the Marchesi Mazzei continue to devote themselves to winemaking, with an uncompromising approach to excellence, an eye towards innovation and an abiding respect for the land. The vineyards and state-of-the-art winery at Castello di Fontertuoli represent one of the most acclaimed wine families in Chianti Classico.
Castello di Fonterutoli is a unique place where past and present unite and where guests rediscover themselves and the real Tuscany amidst an untouched and breathtaking landscape. The century-old hamlet and wine estate of Castello di Fonterutoli provides the ideal setting for visitors to enjoy Tuscany the way it was meant to be experienced – surrounded by soft, green rolling hills and lush vineyards, sipping elegant wines and indulging in fresh regional cuisine.
