San Ferdinando Chianti

With its nose of forest fruit, cherry, liquorice and coffee this is a silky style of Chianti with soft tannins and good red wine juice.

Castello di Fonterutoli is owned by the Mazzei family since 1435. San Ferdinando‘s estate spreads over 60 hectares in the heart of Tuscany. Podere Gamba is the vineyard name. Most of the vineyard activities, hoeing included, are rigorously done by hand, while tractors are used for topping and treatments that follow the principles of supervised pest control. The vineyard is treated like a garden, with great respect for the environment and for nature. Weedkillers and insecticides are completely banned.
