Castello di Fonterutoli — Marchesi Mazzei
Six centuries of Mazzei winemaking around the hamlet of Fonterutoli, with a striking modern cellar and an osteria.
Our verdict
Six hundred years, twenty-four generations, one family: the Mazzeis have owned Fonterutoli since 1435, and the estate now runs to 650 hectares with its own osteria looking out toward Siena. The tasting menu and wine pairing at Osteria di Fonterutoli is the polished, expensive version of a Chianti lunch — book the combined wine-and-food experience rather than just the cellar tour if you want to understand why the reputation holds up.
