Tasting notes
Panzano (Greve in Chianti). Youthful mid crimson. Brooding nose with a hint of dried fruit. Very prettily built with plenty of tangy fruit and firm, grainy tannins. Wonderful style and length.

“A dense and velvety wine with black chocolate and cherry character. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. Altogether delicious. So well done and from organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.” (Aug 2016) www.jamessuckling.com
About the producer

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.
