In the Heart of Chianti

​

Fontodi is located in the heart of Chianti Classico, more precisely in the valley that opens to the south of the town of Panzano called “Conca d'oro“. A terroir renowned for centuries for its vocation for quality viticulture due to the unique combination of high altitude, marly soils, great brightness and a fantastic microclimate, warm, dry and with a wide temperature range.

THE WINE:

In the glass the color is an intense and bright ruby ​​red. The olfactory bouquet is complex and rich, and opens to the nose allowing the perception of floral tones of violet, then hints of blackcurrant, morello cherry and sour cherries in alcohol, finally tertiary nuances of leather, tobacco and cinchona. Warm and elegant on the palate, it is guided by a noble tannic texture and a very long finish, characterized by refined balsamic aftertastes.

VINIFICATION AND REFINING:

Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and maceration in stainless steel tanks with punching down and temperature control for at least
3 weeks. Malolactic fermentation In barriques. Aging In Troncais and Allier barriques
for 24 months.
