Collection: Fontodi
Fontodi is one of the most acclaimed wineries in Tuscany, known for producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the Chianti Classico region. Situated in the heart of Tuscany, Fontodi benefits from the region's ideal microclimate, fertile soil, and centuries-old winemaking tradition which together create wines that are both elegant and powerful.
The history of Fontodi stretches back to the 16th century, but it was purchased by the Manetti family in 1968, who have since dedicated themselves to enhancing its reputation. The estate covers around 130 hectares, including over 80 hectares of vineyards planted mainly with Sangiovese, the hallmark grape of Chianti Classico. The Manetti family has invested significantly in modernizing the winemaking facilities while maintaining respect for traditional methods, resulting in wines that combine classic taste profiles with contemporary innovation.
Fontodi's flagship wine, the Flaccianello della Pieve, is a prime example of its dedication to quality. This single-varietal Sangiovese wine is crafted from the estate's best grapes and aged meticulously to develop rich flavors and complexity. Additionally, Fontodi produces a range of other exquisite wines including Chianti Classico, Vigna del Sorbo, Syrah, and Vin Santo. Each wine expresses the terroir of Fontodi's vineyards and the skillful craftsmanship of its winemakers. Whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or a newcomer to Italian wines, experiencing Fontodi's collection offers a deep dive into Tuscany's distinctive wine culture.
