Fontodi, Chianti Classico, ABV 14.5%, Vintage 2018.
We love pairing Sangiovese wine with food. The vibrant acidity always counterbalances the saltiness of most dishes and accentuates savory, rich food flavors, sometimes playing a supporting role, and always willing to share the center stage. Not to mention it offers firm tannins which are especially complementary with red meats.
This organically-produced wine offers concentrated sour cherry, pomegranate, black currant fruit notes, alongside violet, licorice, pencil shavings, sweet balsamic aromas and flavors; with secondary notes of vanilla, clove, cedar; and tertiary notes (not necessarily due to age) of leather, tobacco, animal, and earth. In sum, it’s layered and interesting, while also being simply delicious, especially with some time to breathe.
This wine hails from vineyards located in the “Conca d’Oro” valley of Chianti Classico DOCG located in Tuscany region of Central Italy. It was aged for 18 months in Allier and Tronçais barriques.

Fontodi is located in the heart of Chianti Classico. One of Italy's elite red grape varieties, Sangiovese has the perfect mix of bright red fruit and earthiness found in the best red wines of Tuscany. This dry smooth velvety wine with hints of green olives mixed with black cherry delivers plenty of character. Great finish with a delicious tannin bite. An excellent wine for drinking today and setting several cases aside for future enjoyment.
