1 x 75cl. The producer, Fontodi, has been owned by the Manetti family since 1968. A family which for centuries before that was associated with the production of terracotta tiles. In 1968, Fontodi was a run-down estate, but the Manettis totally replanted the vineyards and renovated the estate and winemaking facilities. Today, Fontodi is recognized as one of the finest producers in the region. Giovanni Manetti has run the estate since 1980, amongst other things achieving organic certification for the over 70 ha of vineyards of which 90% are planted with Sangiovese. Vigna del Sorbo Gran Selezione is 100% Sangiovese from and over 40 year old vineyard. The wine is certified organic and always produced from 100% Sangiovese. Fontodi's Chianti Classico is a textbook example of the denomination, with medium body, crunchy red cherry fruit, firm tannins, and refreshing lift on the finish. This wine is suitable for both men and women.
