Fonterutoli, during the wars between Siena and Florence, was the site of the agreements that put an end to the dispute over the Chianti territories. It is said that the border should have been established at the meeting point between a Florentine knight and a Sienese knight who should have left their respective cities at the first cockcrow: the meeting between the two knights would have taken place right near Fonterutoli.

It is located in the heart of the Chianti area, along the Strada Statale 222 "Chiantigiana" just beyond Castellina in Chianti, in the direction of Siena. From here you can enjoy a unique panorama, in fact you can see Siena and dominate the landscape of the Sienese Valdelsa.
The locality has ancient origins, so much so that it was already known in Etruscan and Roman times ("Fons Rutolae" and "Fons Rutilant").

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

During the wars between Siena and Florence, it was the site of the agreements that put an end to the dispute over the Chianti territories. It is said that according to the agreements, the border should have been established at the meeting point between a Florentine knight and a Sienese knight who should have left their respective cities at the first cockcrow: the meeting between the two knights would have taken place right near Fonterutoli .

The castle of Fonterutoli is owned by the Marquis Mazzei family 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.
