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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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.\n\nThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBest served with roasted or grilled meats, especially a prime cut of beef, lamb, or game.
