Fontodi Chianti Classico 2022

Fontodi Chianti Classico 2022 is a polished expression of 100% Sangiovese from one of Tuscany’s most respected estates. Organic farming, native-yeast fermentation, and élevage in French barriques give this wine a beautiful balance of purity, structure, and finesse—an elegant modern classic from a historic Chianti address.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a vibrant ruby-red color with youthful brightness. The nose is marked by classic Sangiovese character: red cherry, wild berries, violets, and subtle herbal notes, with hints of spice and toasted oak from its time in barrique. On the palate, it is sleek and energetic, with fresh acidity, refined tannins, and a layered core of red fruit, earth, and savory spice. The style is light on its feet but far from simple, offering both lift and depth. It has the structure to develop gracefully over the next several years, while already being enjoyable for those who appreciate finesse and precision.

Production
Fontodi sources its grapes from carefully selected vineyards in Chianti Classico, where the soils and exposure are especially well suited to Sangiovese. The estate follows organic viticulture and harvests by hand, ensuring only healthy fruit reaches the cellar. Fermentation takes place naturally in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, followed by at least 18 months of maturation in French barriques, which adds polish without overwhelming the grape’s natural character.

Food & Serving
This is a natural partner for Tuscan dishes such as bistecca alla fiorentina, roast pork, grilled lamb, pasta with ragù, or mushroom-based risotto. Serve it at around 16–18°C. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended if you want to open up the aromatic complexity and soften the tannins, especially in its youth.

Producer
Fontodi is a benchmark producer in Chianti Classico, admired for combining traditional values with meticulous modern craftsmanship. Based in the heart of the Conca d’Oro, the estate has built a strong international reputation for wines that capture both the character of Sangiovese and the quality potential of the region. Over the years, Fontodi has earned widespread acclaim and numerous awards, helping define the modern standard for premium Chianti Classico.
