Amphora is something Fontodi knows well, being producers of terracotta products since the 1700's. Remarkably fresh with ripe black cherry, dark soil, mineral thrust, dried flowers and undergrowth. On the palate it displays rich, silky textures with pure cherry fruit, a hint of tropical citrus and spice. The finish is incredibly fresh with vibrant acidity dancing on the senses.

First vintage ever of Fontodi Dino (named after Giovanni Manetti's father). Aged in amphora. The Manetti family has been amphora for 100s of years and it's exciting to try this wine in their family clay (mined locally in Tuscany)! Truly delicious

What a powerful and delicious wine. The nose is excellent and filled with leather and earth. The palette starts with acidic cherry flavors followed by earth and acid. Underrated here.

Very cleanly made Chianti with an enjoyable freshness to the bright red cherry and bitter fruit pit flavors. Wished for a little more aromatically, but that’s a small complaint. This is quite tasty on its own and with food.

Wine dinner at Osteria Mozza Dino 2012. Oh man I love the Dino, I hope it's because I love the taste, not the story. I love both. 100% Italian Syrah (are you kidding me?) vinefied in amphora that the Manetti family makes themselves! And they only make a little bit of it, so it's practically impossible to drink it. And if you can find it, it's not expensive. And it tastes great! For all I know, these vines came over from ancient Persia in the days when Rome was a backwater. At least that's the story I'm going to tell.
