Reviews and Ratings

The Mazzei family have been the owners of this Italian winery, Castello di Fonterutoli, since 1435. The 2004 vintage of the Chianti Classico Riserva Ser Lapo is made from 100% Sangiovese grapes and is full bodied, black raspberry and plum on the palate. Decant 2 hours prior to serving. Pair with a crown pork roast. - Community Wine Reviews
