Lovely ruby colour in the glass with purple hues. On the nose, balsamic herbal aromas, as well as classic cherry, blackberry and tobacco notes. On the palate, the wine is incredibly complex with pronounced flavours of balsamic herbs, sweet tobacco and hints of cherry. The finish is long and persistent.
Fruit for this wine comes from slopes located in the valley that opens south of Panzano, known as 'The Golden Shell', at average altitude of 450 metres above sea level. Here, the type of soil is calcareous clay schist.
On arrival at the winery grapes are carefully selected on sorting tables. The wine is fermented and macerated for three months in terracotta amphoras. At the end of fermentation the wine is kept in amphoras for another 18 months before bottling.
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.
