Mazzei Castello Fonterutoli Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2019
95 POINTS: James Suckling 94+ POINTS: Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
14% Abv "The beautiful 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello Fonterutoli comes from a special growing site with alberese limestone soils broken up by lots of rocks. The wine is especially balanced and bright in this vintage with lots of cherry fruit definition, crushed stone, dusty mineral and blue flower. The tannins are sweet and rich, adding to an elegant medium-bodied mouthfeel. High-elevation vineyard positions guarantee freshness in this wine." —94+ Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"Top Chianti Classico with crushed dark cherries, rose petals and hints of cedar on both the nose and palate. Medium-to full-bodied and very structured with lots of tannins. Needs time to soften. Try after 2024." —95 Points, James Suckling
If you like full bodied Italian style reds particularly Amarone then this is a really good everyday drinking alternative. Especially suited for winter meals or perhaps bbq lamb in summer. I’ve just finished ordering some more.
A great range to select from but scored 4 for a 2 day delivery in AKL & challenges in processing my order online.

The Calmel and Joseph, Villa Blanche Malbec, Syrah and Merlot are exceptional wines for day to day drinking. Although different styles of wine, they are all delicious. You won't be disappointed.
