Fontodi is one of the great names of Chianti Classico. Owned by the Manetti family and led by Giovanni Manetti, the estate sits in Panzano’s famed Conca d’Oro, the “golden shell,” a natural amphitheater of south-facing slopes that ranks among the region’s top sites. The vineyards are certified organic, and the same care that goes into the cult Flaccianello goes into this benchmark Chianti Classico, which is 100% Sangiovese from the estate’s own vines. The 2023 is a textbook Chianti: dark cherry and violets with licorice, graphite and a savory, earthy edge, juicy acidity and fine, firm tannins. Delicious now and with the stuffing to age for years. Classic with bistecca alla fiorentina, pappardelle with wild boar ragù or pecorino.

93 Points
"The organic Fontodi 2023 Chianti Classico is a very pretty wine with special richness and a nicely buttoned-up character. Tobacco and spice are well dosed against a dark core of fruit, giving the wine depth without distracting from its freshness and balance. This is much more than your standard Chianti Classico, showing a sense of completeness and generosity. Made with 100% Sangiovese from various estate vineyards at 380 to 450 meters above sea level on galestro and alberese soils, the wine ages for 24 months in French oak barriques and larger casks. Production is a generous 170,000 bottles."
