Score 87/100 · Daniel Thomases, Wine Advocate, Apr 2006
It was to be expected that as reliable an estate as Fontodi would offer excellent wines from the 2001 vintage, but the very satisfying quality of the 2002 Chianti Classico is perhaps more surprising considering the reputation of the vintage. Floral, spicy, and soft, the notes of chocolate and licorice on the finish give an additional and welcome complexity. Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel. (631) 467-5907

About the producer

Fontodi
Based just outside Panzano-in-Chianti, Chianti Classico estate Fontodi was acquired by the Manettis in 1968, a family which has established its modern reputation. Today the leading property is best known for its Flaccianello delle Pieve, the pure Sangiovese Super Tuscan first made in 1981.
