Red wine | Toscana IGT

A bridge across the Atlantic

This Tuscan red wine offers a beautiful aromatic richness, with blueberry, black cherry, and violet, a touch of spice and dark chocolate, in a complex and refined style with smooth tannins. The grapes come from the historic Castello Fonterutoli estate as well as from the Tuscan coast. The blend extends to the aging process, using both French and American oak, in homage to Philip Mazzei, an illustrious ancestor of the family and close friend of Thomas Jefferson.

Marchesi Mazzei Castello di Fonterutoli - Philip

CHF 33.50 (75cl)

Colour

A beautiful deep and opaque dark red, with purplish reflections.

Nose

Beautiful aromatic richness, offering nuances of blueberry, black cherry and violet, coated by a touch of spices and dark chocolate. Superb minerality.

Palate

Complex and refined, with well-blended tannins. Round, powerful, with a nice harmonious length on the fruit.

Wine-growing terroir

The vineyards of Castello di Fonterutoli are based on a unique soil, made up of the decomposition of Alberese and sandstone, dominated by limestone, which gives the vineyards a mineral and complex core. The soils of the Belguardo vineyards, consisting mainly of very fine gravel from the decomposition of sandstone and a clay-limestone mixture known as alberese, confirm the maxim that poor soils produce great wines.

Winemaking

Manual harvest, vatting between 13 and 15 days, aging for 18 months in French and American oak barrels (30% new wood).
