Tasting Notes

This Sangiovese is bright, ruby red in colour. On the nose, aromas of ripe dark cherries, violets and plums, complemented by a hint of spice. This wine has wonderful structure and the palate is typically rich and full complemented by racy acidity and characteristically fine, supple tannins. The finish is flavourful and persistent.

About the Winery

Fontodi is a stunning winery located in the heart of Chianti Classico, Tuscay, in a picturesque valley known as "The Conca d'Oro" (the golden shell). It is renowned for its commanding views of the region's rolling vineyards and for producing exceptional Italian wines that capture the essence of the terroir.

Owned by the Manetti family for more than five generations, Fontodi is steeped in tradition. However, modernisation has not been overlooked, the family embraced organic farming practices in 1990s, insisting on the balance between the land and the vine. Their dedication to quality and respect for nature are why their wines continue to receive high critical acclaim.

In terms of wine-making, Fontodi is famed for its Chianti Classico and Flaccianello. The former is a blend of Sangiovese with a small percentage of other grape varieties, resulting in a harmonious symphony of bold fruit, earthy truffle and rustic cherry notes.
