Fontodi

Giovanni Manetti's property in the heart of the Chianti Classico region is a delight. The 62 immaculate hectares of vineyard are in the 'Conca d'Oro' (Golden Shell) of Panzano - a horeshoe of steep vineyards which has exposure to the West, South and East, and with Giovanni's home at the centre.

The wines boast supreme elegance. The Casa Via Syrah bears all of the hallmarks of the Northern Rhone, only better, and is terrific with the wild boar that roam the forest around the estate!

Wines from Fontodi

Producer: Fontodi
Wine: Fontodi Chianti Classico 2008
Region: Tuscany Country: Italy
Grape: Sangiovese
Tasting notes: Robert Parker 89 (2008) - Wine Advocate #196. Aug 2011. Reviewer : Antonio Galloni. The 2008 Chianti Classico is very elegant and restrained in this vintage. Sweet red cherries, flowers, tobacco and incense float on a core of bright, persistent minerality. This is a rather Burgundian styled vintage for the Chianti Classico. Readers who may have found the 2006 and 2007 too rich will flip over the 2008. It is a model of precision and elegance. Menthol, spices and a host of balsamic aromas and flavors add complexity on the delineated, precise finish. Drink: 2012 - 2020.
