Filetta di Lamole Chianti Classico Sangiovese
Chianti Classico, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy
Fontodi is rarely disappointing in my experience. This was no exception. Although I’m not sure this wants much more time in the cellar

I am a big fan of this wine. Higher altitude vineyard in Chianti Classico. A somewhat lighter, but complex red fruited earthy CC. Some nice fennel notes. I am glad Fontodi has partnered with Lorenzo Pisana Socci for this wine. This is one to watch.

Dried herbs, old red cherry, cranberry acid. Very Brunello like.

Sep 11th, 2021Stunning beautiful expression of Sangiovese. From a high elevation vineyard with rocky, sandy soils. A lighter tone. More Burgundian. Cherry fruit, nice bite too. Long. I want more of this.

Jul 9th, 2021Surprisingly firm, youthful & rustic, even after 4h decanting. A darker & burlier Chianti Classico.
Dark cherries, tomato leaf, sun dried tomato, a hint of roast & olives.
On the palate this shows a firm tannic structure, herby and slightly dry after a while, filled with juicy cherry acidity and herby fruit.
This shows good depth & load of rustic (in a good way) character. Excellent with a Fiorentina. Probably would not enjoy it as much solo.

Dry with pronounces tannins. Two hours after decanting, it emergences much smoother and rather nice to drink now. Not quite the standard Fontodi CC, but a very enjoyable wine on its own.

Surprisingly transparent. Bright cherry and blackberry aromas with the berry flavours complemented by a subtle cedar taste and bit of sharp cranberry. Vanishingly little tannin. If asked to guess I might have said it was a valpolicella!

Mar 25th, 2020Black cherry nose. Oaky and black cherry tongue opens up to strong body of tannins and concentrated fruit, finishes with grapes and slight vanilla aftertaste on tongue
