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.
Tasting Notes: Aromas and flavors of black-skinned berry, licorice, exotic spice and raspberry compote. Tightly knit, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity provide the age-worthy backbone. This comes from what is perceived as a difficult vintage, but (due to severe fruit selection) this is drinking wonderfully right now. Fontodi only made 2/3rds their normal amount of Flaccianello in 2014 to keep the quality as high as possible.
