Fontodi Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Panzano Terrazze di San Leolino 2022

Fontodi’s Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Panzano Terrazze di San Leolino 2022 is a superb expression of Sangiovese from one of Tuscany’s most respected estates. Crafted from organically farmed vineyards in the heart of Panzano, it combines depth, precision, and the distinctive character of the region’s high-altitude terroir, with the pedigree to age gracefully for many years.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this vintage is expected to show a bright, vibrant ruby colour with the clarity and energy typical of fine Sangiovese. The bouquet should be layered and refined, offering red cherry, wild berries, dried herbs, violets, and a subtle earthy nuance, with hints of spice and mineral tension as it opens. On the palate, the wine is poised and structured, balancing firm tannins with lively acidity and a long, elegant finish. It is a wine built for development, with excellent aging potential that should allow its aromatic complexity, depth, and savoury nuances to unfold beautifully over time.

Production
Terrazze di San Leolino comes from Fontodi’s organically cultivated vineyards in Panzano in Chianti, an area known for its elevation, well-drained soils, and a climate that encourages slow, even ripening. These conditions are ideal for Sangiovese, helping to preserve freshness while building concentration and structure. Harvesting is carried out with care to ensure only the best fruit is selected, and vinification is designed to respect the purity of the grape and the personality of the site. The result is a wine that reflects both precision in the cellar and a strong sense of place, with a style that is elegant, refined, and distinctly Tuscan.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with classic Tuscan dishes such as bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragù, roasted lamb, or pappardelle with rich meat sauces. It also works well with mature pecorino and other aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the wine to खुल?
