Tasting Notes: Succulent cherries and berries, piquant minerals and herbs, and kisses of loam and pressed wildflowers jump from a glass of Fontodi Filetta. Bright acidity propels this intense wine, yet its fine-grained tannins cling to the cheeks to blanket the palate with a textured, silky feel.
Estate History: Fontodi has belonged to the Manetti family since 1968. The family has been associated for centuries with another activity typical of the Chianti region, the production of its famous “terrecotte” tiles. And it is in the name of this strong link with the territory and a great passion for quality that the estate has moved successfully towards an ever more attentive cultivation of the vineyards and a more profound knowledge of the potential of Sangiovese in the zone of Panzano.
Filetta is the name of a seven hectare vineyard in the heart of Chianti's Lamole zone. It is 620 metres above sea level West/South-West facing, so the wines from the sandy soils are scented and elegant, their perfumes developed by the cool nights and long growing season at such an altitude.Vines are Guyot trained but some old vines are still trained using the traditional "Alberello di Lamole" (bush vines).
