Already known by the Etruscans and subsequently referred to in Roman times as "Fons Rutolae" and "Fons Rutilant", it was considered a stopping-off point where travelers between Florence and Siena could find refreshment. This estate lies just a few kilometers south of Castellina in Chianti, one of the villages at the heart of the original Chianti Classico zone and dates from the 13th century. The Castello di Fonterutoli Chianti Classico is the estate's flagship wine, introduced in the 1995 vintage.
