Fontodi
Fontodi is located in the hills south of the town of Panzano in the heart of the Chianti Classico region.This 90-hectare estate was in a run down and derelict state when it was acquired by Domiziano and Dino Manetti in 1968. They totally replanted the vineyards and renovated the winemaking facilities and today Fontodi is recognised as one of the finest producers in the region.
The estate is now run by Macro and Gioivanni Manetti, ably assisted by winemaker Franco Bernabei. Its benchmark Chianti Classico is made from a blend of Sangiovese and Canaiolo and aged in large oak barrels whereby the Chianti Classico Riserva has a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, and a portion is aged in small French barriques. Its finest wine is the 100% Sangiovese, Flaccinello della Pieve.

A rich and majestic expression of pure Sangiovese, Fontodi's powerful Flacianello delights us with brooding aromas of cherry liqueur, plums and mulberry. With patience, this wine develops enticing earthy truffle notes, but if you can't wait, be sure to decant in order to enjoy at its best. ... MORE Drink 2010-2022 . Parker Score: 93/100 | ||||
