Always one of the very best wines in Chianti Classico, the 2007 Fontodi delivers all the depth and complexity you could want from a great Tuscan red in a more open, accessible, package. A Chianti to enjoy with everything from pizza and pasta to grilled meats and roasts.
“A maniacal attention to detail in both the vineyards and cellar sets Fontodi apart as one of Italy’s most inspired producers. The 2007 Chianti Classico is fresh and perfumed as it bursts into the palate in a generous, silky expression of Sangiovese. This is an especially open vintage for the Chianti Classico that should drink well upon release. The balance, harmony and softness are all commendable. This is a fabulous effort from Fontodi. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020.”Wine Advocate 91 points
“Blackberry and dark plum aromas follow through to a full body, with silky tannins and a bright, fruity finish. There's a nice combination of bright fruit and clean acidity. Drink now.”Wine Spectator 91 points
