A sleek, black cherry– and blackberry-infused red, coupled with a steely, vibrant structure. Linear and tense, featuring an energetic finish. Tobacco, graphite and macchia notes add depth as this unwinds on the long finish. Best from 2022 through 2045. 11,000 cases made, 3,500 cases imported. — BS

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
It's BAAAACK! We sold out of the first parcel of this beauty in minutes and we scoured the globe until we found a tiny bit more. One of the all time great over-achievers in the world of wine. The 2016 Chianti from the "golden shell" in Panzano is a legend already. There is just so much to love in this beauty, you're going to be blown away by this the purity and layered complexity. Triple 94 points and real classy, with all the attention to detail you get out of the 100-point Flaccianello. Made from organic, estate grown sangiovese. "The 2016 is flat-out delicious. That's pretty much all there is to it." - Antonio Galloni
About the Producer
Fontodi is located in Panzano and in area called the "Conca d’Oro" (the golden shell) because of its amphitheater shape which the winery overlooks. A genuine and characteristic terroir, famous for centuries and one of the highest regarded growing sites in all of Chianti. It has a unique combination of high altitude, calcareous clay/schist soil, lots of light, and a climate that is warm and dry with a marked difference in day and night-time temperatures. ll Fontodi wines are produced from estate vineyards, picked by hand, chosen with care and vinified in a way that exalts the character of the vines and the territory.
