Description

Fontodi is defined in many ways, each of which underscores the history of its fame and its wines that have now conquered palates around the world, bringing the name of Tuscany into vogue. This splendid winery was founded in 1968 when the Manetti family took over ownership; it is located in Panzano in Chianti within the Chianti Classico DOCG in what is known as the “Conca d’oro” because of its unique, south-facing soils with varying altitudes where Sangiovese, and more, ripens to extraordinary levels. They famous terracotta producers, embarked on a new path by taking advantage of the knowledge of the area by planting the first vines on stony, marl-rich soils releasing the first label a few years later. Focused on environmental sustainability they obtained organic certification, cultivating 80 hectares planted mainly with Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Malvasia and Pinot Noir without the use of chemicals but only with organic crops produced by them. Work in the winery is precise and delicate, thanks in part to the support of the architecture of the planting arranged on various levels, the use of intrusive technologies is avoided by taking advantage of gravity so as not to damage the grapes, only wood is used in vinification, and aging lasts at least 12 months. This is the most genuine and purest territorial version of what a landscape can symbolize.
