Fontodi CHIANTI CLASSICO Toscana

90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon have produced a stunning and elegant wine as its combination of accessibility, depth of flavour and a velvety texture make it difficult to resist. As a general character, the wine is light in colour, but Fontodi's superb vineyards have given their wine a colour that few others will have naturally. (6 x 75 cl)

Vigna del Sorbo is a blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. It has good depth of colour and an intense, cherry and strawberry nose, with a touch of cassis from the Cabernet Sauvignon which tempers the characteristic acidity of the Sangiovese and softens the structure. Vigna del Sorbo has ripe tannins and intense, sweet but savoury fruit which lasts through the long, elegant finish.

This Chianti Classico from Fontodi is wonderfully aromatic, with perfumes of fresh cherries and blackberries, giving way to light, supple tannins and lovely balance on the palate. The difficult vintage meant that Giovanni Manetti and Franco Bernabei made less Flaccianello and Vigna del Sorbo than usual, so much of this year’s Chianti Classico is in fact declassified Flaccianello. As a result, although a more forward and approachable wine than the 2004, it still has the characteristic intensity and elegance of the Fontodi range. Few properties in Tuscany are as immaculately tended, or produce such meticulously made wines, as Fontodi. The Manetti family has owned the estate since 1968 and has worked with winemaker Franco Bernabei since 1979. All the fermentation tanks are equipped for pneumatic punching down of the cap and the increase in colour, extraction and flavour of the resulting wines is remarkable. (12 x 75 cl)
