Terroir
Fonterutoli vineyards (Castellina in Chianti): Concerto vineyard, 350 m (1,150 ft) a.s.l. Soil: rocky, coming from decomposed limestone and sandstone.
The grapes ripen in the vineyard of the same name, located in the western part of the property at an altitude of about 350 meters above sea level. Thanks to the oak forest that surrounds it, this vineyard benefits from a unique microclimate. The Sangiovese, from mass selections belonging to an experimental vineyard dating back to the 1930s, is cultivated in the plots of Brotine Alto, Acacie, and Scassi. These plots enjoy a southwest exposure and a very rich soil structure with a high presence of limestone. The Cabernet Sauvignon is grown in an adjacent plot called Brotine Basso, which equally rocky and limestone-rich soil is particularly favorable for expressing the distinctive potential of this grape variety.
