Fontodi, Chianti Classico, 2022

Fontodi’s Chianti Classico 2022 is a beautifully crafted Sangiovese that delivers remarkable depth, concentration, and purity of fruit. Produced from estate-grown fruit in the heart of Tuscany and treated with the care of a Riserva, it combines classic Chianti character with impressive finesse and power.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a vibrant ruby-red color with excellent clarity. The nose is generous and layered, offering ripe red cherry, leather, cocoa, and a subtle hint of licorice. On the palate, it is juicy and intensely fruited, with firm tannins, full-bodied structure, and a long, well-balanced finish that unfolds with notes of sour cherry, chocolate, and spice. This is a Chianti Classico with real aging potential, especially thanks to its solid tannic backbone and concentrated fruit. While already expressive, it should continue to gain complexity over the next several years, developing more tertiary nuances of earth, tobacco, and dried herbs.

Production
The wine is made from 100% Sangiovese sourced entirely from Fontodi’s own vineyards in Tuscany’s Chianti Classico zone. The estate follows sustainable and organic principles in the vineyard to preserve purity and express the character of the terroir. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, and the wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels selected from top forests, adding structure and refinement without masking the fruit.

Food & Serving
Best served with roasted or grilled meats, especially a prime cut of beef, lamb, or game. It also pairs well with rich Tuscan dishes, aged cheeses, and hearty mushroom-based plates. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended to let the wine fully open up.

Fontodi is one of the standout names in Chianti Classico, known for producing wines of exceptional precision, depth, and authenticity. The estate has built a strong reputation for quality through meticulous vineyard work and a philosophy centered on sustainability and respect for the land. Today, Fontodi is widely regarded as one of the benchmark producers in the region.
