The 2004 Chianti Classico Castello di Fonterutoli (90% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon) is a deeply-colored, concentrated effort with a fragrant, aromatic nose and plenty of plummy, dark fruit. Today the new oak tannins seem excessive. Bottle age is likely to help, but to a limited extent. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019.
