The Fontodi Chianti Classico DOCG is a true symbol of the Tuscan wine tradition, produced in the heart of the Chianti region, where the vineyards stretch between the towns of Greve and Panzano. Fontodi's commitment to organic farming and respect for ancient winemaking techniques is reflected in every bottle, making this wine an excellent choice for wine lovers who value sustainability along with quality.
This wine is primarily made from Sangiovese grapes, with a small percentage of other native varieties that contribute to its complexity and depth. After manual harvesting, the wine matures for about 18 months in oak barrels, followed by further refinement in the bottle. The result is a wine with great structure and longevity, characterized by an elegant fusion of fruity aromas and spicy notes.
On the nose, the Fontodi Chianti Classico DOCG unfolds an aromatic bouquet that ranges from lively cherry and plum notes to nuances of aromatic herbs and wet earth. The palate is well-balanced, with a nice acidity and robust tannins that promise an excellent aging potential. The notes of red fruits blend with hints of chocolate and tobacco, leading to a persistent and satisfying finish.
Ideal to be served with traditional Italian dishes, such as pasta with ragù, roasted meats, and aged cheeses, the Fontodi Chianti Classico DOCG is a wine that celebrates the essence of Tuscany, offering a rich and memorable sensory experience with every sip. Each bottle represents an opportunity to immerse oneself in the history and culture of Italian wine.
