This wine is a vibrant yellow amber in colour with youthful hints. The nose displays aromas of apricot, chamomile, spice and dried herbs. Intense and harmonic on the palate, it has a refreshing acidity and a persistent finish.

The Fontodi estate comprises of 99 hectares of vineyards, all of which are found in an amphitheatre-shaped valley in the south of Panzano. This shape facilitates the full ripening of the grapes. Fontodi Bianco is made only with Trebbiano grapes from the oldest vineyards of Fontodi, with more than 50 years old. The stony galestro soils allow excellent drainage and help to develop a deep root system. Vines are planted at 4,000 and 6,000 per hectare.

The whole bunches were gently pressed, followed by a cold sedimentation process. Fermentation occurred under controlled temperatures in tonneaux, where the wine was kept on its fine lees until May, allowing for enhanced complexity and depth of flavour.

The Manetti family has owned Fontodi since 1968 but has been in Chianti for centuries, producing the finest terracotta at their factory in Ferrone. The same attention to detail on their terracotta has been brought to bear on Fontodi over the past 50 years, transforming a crumbling farmhouse with a few hectares of vineyard into one of Chianti Classico’s most impressive estates.
