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. A genuine and characteristic “Terroir”, famous for centuries for its tradition of quality wine cultivation, thanks to a unique combination of high altitude, calcar clay schist soil, lots of light, and a fantastic micro-climate – warm and dry with a marked difference in day and night-time temperatures. All Fontodi wines are produced from grapes coming from their own vineyards, picked by hand, chosen with care and vinified in a way that exalts the character of the vines and the territory.

A blend of Sangiovese 50%, and Malvasia . After the harvest, the grapes are naturally dried for 5 months. After the pressing the must is racked in chestnut and oak barrels of 50 and 110 litres where the ageing takes place for 9 years. A deep golden colour with an elegant and complex nose. Aromas of dried fruits, apricots and dates are complemented by hints of almonds. On the palate, it is sweet, rounded and silky with a long, refreshing finish.
