The Wine

Ranked #1 2020 Sangiovese from Chianti Classico by The Real Review 2025

96 Pts ★★★★★ Huon Hooke The Real Review, Jan 2025 'Deep, dark red with a nice tint of purple and a complex and intense bouquet of smoked meats, peat smoke, woodsy earthy tones and dried sage. Very layered and inviting. Intense, driving and powerful on the palate yet also elegant. Red fruits buried deep within. The wine is focused and tensioned, still unfolding itself and promises more if cellared a while. Full bodied, very long and persistent flavours together with taut, tensioned tannins. Excellent wine, just starting to enter its drinking window. Drink: 2026-2040.'

96 Pts Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 'Showing enormous precision and direction, the 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Sorbo (with 25,000 bottles released) is a generous expression of Sangiovese that boasts singular intensity. This organic wine offers black fruit, grilled rosemary, pressed rose and crushed limestone. All of these aromas enjoy special, forward-moving intensity that dovetails into the ample fruit generosity that this sun-filled vintage will be remembered for.

Fontodi is located in the heart of Chianti Classico precisely in the valley which lies south of the town of Panzano and is called the “Conca d’Oro” (the golden shell) because of its amphitheatre shape - 2nd picture below.

About the Wine Maker

Fontodi has belonged to the Manetti family since 1968. The family has been associated for centuries with another activity typical of the Chianti region, the production of its famous “terrecotte” tiles. And it is in the name of this strong link with the territory and a great passion for quality that the estate has moved successfully towards an ever more attentive cultivation of the vineyards and a more profound knowledge of the potential of Sangiovese in the zone of Panzano.

Fontodi is a certified organic estate which extends over 130 hectars of which about 70 are planted with vines. The type of agriculture practised is inspired by the principles of respect of nature and sustainability. Not only are no chemical products used but there is an effort to maximize the internal resources of the estate, thereby reducing the need for any external input. Respecting the environment means wines that are better, purer, and a truer expression of the grape and the territory.

The process of vinification and ageing in wood takes place in the modern cellar, built on descending levels to take advantage of gravity, guaranteeing the most respect possible for the natural integrity of the grape, in order to exalt the character and elegance of the wines.
