A splendidly ripe, sweet, layered, exuberantly fruity Chianti Classico from the 1999 vintage, Fonterutoli has turned out a dark ruby/purple-colored effort with plenty of density, abundant mineral-infused black cherry fruit, and good spice as well as earthy overtones. It is supple, yet dense and structured enough to last for a decade.
