Fontodi's Chianti Classico 2021 is an ode to the purity of Sangiovese, a wine born in the legendary Conca d'Oro of Panzano, a natural amphitheater where light and marly soils sculpt grapes of rare quality. This bright ruby red seduces with an ample bouquet of violets, ripe cherry and red currant, intertwined with delicate hints of tobacco and sweet spices. Aged for 24 months in French oak barriques, it offers the palate with elegance and structure, combining a refined tannic texture with a vibrant freshness that culminates in a long and mineral finish. An authentic expression of the Chianti Classico terroir, it is a wine that enchants today and promises a splendid evolution for years to come.
