Fontodi’s Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Sorbo 2019 Magnum is a majestic expression of Sangiovese, a wine that elevates Vigna del Sorbo, an iconic cru in the Conca d’Oro of Panzano, to a symbol of Tuscan perfection. Organically grown on galestro soils at 450 meters above sea level, this intense ruby red with garnet hues offers a rich and multifaceted bouquet of ripe black cherry, wild violet, Mediterranean herbs and fine spices, with a delicate undertone of toasted oak. Aged for 24 months in barriques and large barrels, it unfolds on the palate with extraordinary complexity, combining elegant tannins, an enveloping structure and a long-lasting mineral finish. In Magnum format, this wine promises a slow and glorious evolution, ideal for special occasions or to enrich a prestigious collection.
