The purity of fruit here really makes an impression on you. The nose shines with freshly picked blackcurrants, dark plums, freshly cut herbs, cinnamon, raspberry cheesecake, glazed cherries, orange and lemon rind. The palate is so well-crafted with a silky ball of tannins surrounded by layers of blue and red fruit and enveloping acidity. A long finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold.

The 2015 Chianti Classico is outrageously beautiful. Rich and seductive, the 2015 expresses the radiance of the year while retaining a good bit of translucence and energy. Rose petal, mint, white pepper and crushed flowers add elements of brightness to this classy, super-polished Chianti Classico. More than anything else, though, I am simply blown away by the wine's quality. A decade ago, Giovanni Manetti made darker more concentrated wines. Today, the Fontodi wines speak to finesse. The Chianti Classico is a great place to see that. It was aged in equal parts cask and neutral barrique.

Rich, packed with cherry, leather, dark chocolate and wild herb aromas and flavors. Dense and vibrant, with a long, mouthwatering finish that picks up a graphite edge. Best from 2020 through 2032. 12,000 cases made, 4,000 cases imported.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
Wow! We LOVE Fontodi Chianti Classico --- a winery that can pretty much do no wrong, especially when a vintage like 2015 comes along. The whole line-up is out-of-this world and proves why this is one of the top producers in all of Italy! This might be the best “entry level” wine we’ve ever tasted!
Fontodi is located in Panzano and in an area called the "Conca d’Oro" (the golden shell) because of its amphitheater shape which the winery overlooks. It’s a very distinctive terroir, with galestro soils, and it remains one of the highest regarded growing sites in all of Chianti as it has been for centuries.
Simply put, this is world-class wine at its most affordable and a wine that the rest of the region should look to as an example of what GREAT Chianti can be. So much wonderful freshness here with cherry, dried berry, spice and herb...oh MAN! This will NOT last long.
Here is a snippet from Antonio Galloni’s review, but we promise you, this organically-grown Sangiovese will satisfy your every craving for Tuscan brilliance: “Outrageously beautiful. Rich and seductive, the 2015 expresses the radiance of the year while retaining a good bit of translucence and energy...I am simply blown away by the wine's quality.”About the Producer
