The Winery and Producer's History The Mazzei family has run the historic Castello di Fonterutoli estate in Castellina in Chianti since 1435. It is one of the oldest and most distinguished winemaking dynasties in the world, a symbol of Tuscan wine history. The "Ser Lapo" Riserva is a direct tribute to Ser Lapo Mazzei (1350–1412), a Florentine notary and author of the celebrated document dated December 16, 1398, in which the written mention of "Chianti" wine appears for the first time ever. Made from the vineyards of Castello di Fonterutoli, this wine embodies a perfect blend of historical fidelity to its terroir and the modern expression of Sangiovese as a Riserva.
