Beautiful combination of elegance, structure and minerality, with orange peel, red fruits and a touch of licorice. Pair with savory game dishes, stews, truffles and aged, strong tasting cheeses.

	Wine Spectator
93 points	Pretty cherry fruit forms the core of this elegant red, with vivid acidity and refined tannins lifting all the elements. Graphite, leather, tobacco and earth notes lend complexity as this expands on the long, resonant finish. Sangiovese and Malvasia Nera.
	Wine Spirits
91 points	Notes of baking spice weave through this wine’s vibrant core of red cherry flavors. The tannins are smooth and sweet, polished by 20 months in small French oak barrels, and the flavors weave together harmoniously, though a few years in the cellar will give the oak notes a chance to integrate further.
	Robert Parker
94 points	The Mazzei family was among the first to embrace the Gran Selezione category of high-end Chianti Classico. Their 2015 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello Fonterutoli shows the sharpness and detail that wine is supposed to evoke in the best vintages. It opens to a dark garnet color and mid-weight texture. There is ample muscle and power here, but the overall emphasis is on grace and elegance. You really taste those authentic Sangiovese flavors of wild cherry, forest berry, blue flower and crushed rock.
	James Suckling
96 points	Dried violets and lavender, cedar, cloves, vanilla and tobacco. Full body with ripe and chewy tannins, but this remains focused and dialed-in thanks to mouthwatering acidity. Not to mention beautiful blue fruit that comes to the surface, particularly on the long finish.
