A long history, with close links to the wine world, the Mazzei family name can be traced to the Carmiganano region during the early 11th century. Their Tuscan estate, Castello di Fonterutoli has quite a distinguished past as well. The area was once used as a rest-stop between Florence and Siena throughout the Roman Empire. Retaining its original structure, the castle and its land have belonged to the Mazzei family since 1435. Today, after almost six centuries, Marchesi Mazzei continues in their quest for excellence, producing some Italy’s most sought-after and collectible wines. The estate boasts 650-hectares across the Chianti Classico territory. Of which 117 are planted to vines, including the Fonterutoli, Siepi, Badiola, Belvedere and Caggio vineyards. Shifting away from using Castello di Fonterutoli as their brand name, the family currently identifies their Chianti Classico and Coastal Tuscan productions under the Mazzei name. The Mazzei family consistently pushes the limits, expanding its horizons reaching new heights with their dynamic viticultural and vinification approaches. The estate crafts reference-point examples of the region vintage after vintage.
