Merchant's description

Chianti Classico Fontodi 2022 showcases the distinct character of Sangiovese from the esteemed Fontodi estate, established in the 1960s and known for its organic farming practices. This vintage presents concentrated notes of cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle herbs and earthy undertones. The mid-palate reveals structured tannins, which provide a firm backbone, while lively acidity adds freshness to the finish. The wine is crafted for approachability but can benefit from decanting. Best enjoyed from 2026 to 2032, it encapsulates a sense of place distinctly rooted in Tuscany`s terroir.
