Fontodi, Meriggio, 2024

Fontodi’s Meriggio 2024 is a refined Tuscan white from one of Chianti Classico’s most respected estates. Blending Sauvignon Blanc and Trebbiano, it offers a distinctive expression of terroir-driven freshness with a subtle touch of oak and the polish that has made Fontodi a benchmark producer in Tuscany.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass, it shows a bright, inviting appearance that hints at freshness and precision. The nose is elegant and lifted, with notes of citrus, white flowers, orchard fruit, and a gentle herbal edge, rounded by discreet nuances from Tuscan oak ageing. On the palate, Meriggio is crisp and balanced, combining vibrant acidity with a smooth texture and a clean, persistent finish. The wine’s freshness gives it immediate appeal, while the careful élevage adds depth and complexity, allowing it to develop nicely over the next few years.

Production
Produced in the heart of Chianti Classico, Meriggio benefits from Tuscany’s warm days and cooler nights, which help preserve aromatic lift and natural acidity. The grapes are harvested with care and the wine is matured in Tuscan oak barrels, adding texture and subtle complexity without overshadowing the fruit. The result is a white wine that combines regional character with a polished, modern style.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile white wine for dishes such as grilled fish, shellfish, roasted chicken, risotto with herbs, and light pasta with cream or vegetables. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and consider brief aeration if you want the oak-driven nuances to open more fully in the glass.

Producer
Fontodi is a standout estate in the heart of Chianti Classico, owned and managed by the Manetti family. Over the years, the winery has earned a strong reputation for quality, precision, and a deep respect for the Tuscan landscape, making it one of the most admired producers in the region.
