Mazzei Castello di Fonterutoli Vicoregio 36 Gran Selezione Chianti Classico 2021

The black cherry and plum aromas with hints of toasted oak and cedar are very attractive on the nose. Some dried flowers. Full-bodied with fine tannins and a powerful palate of al dente fruit, including cherry, citrus and mineral character. Chewy and structured yet fresh and crunchy. This is a well-structured Chianti Classico that needs at least three or four years to come together, but will improve with age for years ahead. Score – 97. (jamessuckling.com, May 3, 2024)
