Sangiovese · Merlot
About this wine
Poggio alla Badiola is Castello di Fonterutoli's approachable, entry-level Toscana IGT red. Crafted primarily from Sangiovese with a portion of Merlot, it is aged in American oak barrels, which lends soft vanilla notes and rounds out Sangiovese's natural acidity. The result is a fruit-forward, medium-bodied wine with silky tannins designed for immediate enjoyment.
A gentle, fruit-forward gateway into Tuscan reds — approachable without the complexity of higher-end Chianti Classico.

Ser Lapo Chianti Classico Riserva

Named in honor of Ser Lapo Mazzei, the 14th-century notary whose 1398 correspondence contains the first documented use of the word 'Chianti', this Riserva pays tribute to the family's nearly 600-year winemaking history. Made mostly of Sangiovese with a small portion of other red varieties, it is aged in oak and offers a structured, elegant profile that balances traditional Tuscan character with modern precision.
コンチェルト
Concerto
RedSangiovese · Cabernet Sauvignon
First released in 1981, Concerto was one of the pioneering Super Tuscans, blending native Sangiovese with international Cabernet Sauvignon. Production paused in the mid-1990s when its vineyards were repurposed for Castello Fonterutoli, then the wine was revived in 2011 for a small circle of longtime clients, keeping the original 80/20 blend. It offers dark berry fruit, spice, and tobacco notes with elegant, silky tannins.
