    Hiking

    The historic town of Fonterutoli is only a few kilometers away from Castellina in Chianti.
    Because Fonterutoli has belonged to the Marchesi Mazzei since 1435, the few houses and the church of San Miniato have remained almost unchanged, as has the Villa Mazzei, which was built on the site of the former fortress at the end of the 16th century.

    Time seems to have stood still in Fonterutoli and the architecture from the late Middle Ages is still fascinating today.

    The castle of Fonterutoli is owned by the family of the Marquises Mazzei who settled there since 1435. Its appearance has not changed much over the centuries, retaining some original buildings. Only the original castle was replaced by the manor house at the end of the 16th century.

    In 998, as also recalled by a plaque placed in the center of the village, Otto III put an end to the disputes between the powerful dioceses of Siena, Fiesole and Arezzo, establishing borders and possessions.

    Small village with providential fountain, truly worth seeing! From a distance it has an even more medieval appearance
