Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Sorbo 2021, Tenuta Fontodi
A monumental red that defines the power of pure Sangiovese. The aromatic profile alternates dense black fruits with earthy and spicy notes of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between volume and structure. A demonstration of style that confirms Giovanni Manetti among the guardians of Chianti excellence.
Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Sorbo 2021, Tenuta Fontodi
The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione "Vigna del Sorbo" 2021 from Tenuta Fontodi is a monument to Sangiovese from Panzano in Chianti. Coming from a vineyard over 50 years old located in the famous Conca d'Oro, this wine represents the perfect union of territorial power and technical finesse. The 2021 vintage was memorable, characterized by pure fruit and an acidic tension that promises legendary longevity. On the nose, it is an explosion of character: clear notes of sour cherry, black plum, and violet merge with deep aromas of dark tobacco, cocoa powder, graphite, and a balsamic hint of myrtle. On the palate, it is sumptuous, almost tactile; the entry is powerful yet supported by a dense, noble, and integrated tannic structure that reflects masterful use of wood. The finish is endless, marked by the mineral savor typical of galestro and alberese soils.
