Fontodi Chianti Classico 2016

Tuscany, ItalyFontodi is a certified organic estate which extends over 130 hectares, of which about 70 are planted with vines. This Classico is imbued with fresh cherry that runs the length of this tight, vibrant and serious red, seasoned with dried tobacco, pepper, cured meats and a kiss of orange peel on the finish. Although there are alluring tertiary notes, this wine is alive with energy and a tight mineral hum that will ensure it carries on for a few years in the cellar.Tasted: 11 September 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
