Fontodi's Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Sorbo 2020 is a masterpiece of Sangiovese, a wine that tells the story of Vigna del Sorbo, an extraordinary cru in the Conca d'Oro of Panzano. Organically grown on galestro soils at 450 meters above sea level, this intense ruby red with garnet reflections seduces with a bouquet rich in black cherry, violet, lavender and fine spices, caressed by notes of graphite and toasted oak. Aged for 24 months in barrique, it reveals itself on the palate with extraordinary complexity, combining sculpted tannins, a mineral freshness and a long and harmonious finish. An icon of Chianti Classico, perfect for celebrating the present or guarding as a treasure for the future.
