Tasting notes
The 2013 Chianti Classico Filetta di Lamole is a pretty, gracious wine that shows both the airy personality of this high-altitude site and the lighter style of the vintage overall. Sweet floral notes, red stone fruit, earthiness and silky tannins are some of the signatures. I tasted the 2013 from tank just prior to bottling. The Chianti Classico Filetta di Lamole is a new wine Fontodi's Giovanni Manetti is making for his cousin Lorenzo Pisana Socci, whose grandfather was formerly the estate manager at Fontodi and a mentor to Manetti when he was just getting started.

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.
