It comes from a 4.5-hectare site near the tiny chapel of San Leolino, high in Panzano’s famed Conca d’Oro. At 450–500 metres, with limestone alberese soils and organically farmed vines, this is a cool, stony site that produces fruit of striking clarity and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inaugural vintage in 2020 hinted at the potential, but the 2021 is the real deal. Critics have lined up with rave reviews: Antonio Galloni (Vinous) calls it “a Gran Selezione of stunning elegance, complexity and finesse” (98 points), while Monica Larner (Wine Advocate) praises its depth, richness and balance, with drinking stretching comfortably into the 2040s (96+ points). James Suckling adds that it’s “wonderfully crafted, with very finely textured, silky tannins… very attractive now, but much better in two or three years” (96 points).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it’s all red cherry, spice and crushed rock, with vibrant acidity keeping the plush fruit in check. It has the pedigree to cellar for decades, but also a luminous, finely etched beauty that makes it compelling even young.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly 5,000 bottles were made of this inaugural certified-organic release. For those who love Sangiovese in its most elegant, high-altitude guise, this is a wine to secure early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Terrazze San Leolino is another highlight in this range from Fontodi. It's a huge step up from the 2020... The 2021 suggests it could be one of the new flagships here.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Antonio Galloni (Vinous)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Fontodi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42113920270379,"sku":"2021 Fontodi Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Terrazze San Leolino","price":219.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2021FontodiChiantiClassicoGranSelezioneTerrazzeSanLeolino_64e1bcd6-49ed-4aa9-a091-6d8e2204cdd3.png?v=1756945895","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2021-fontodi-chianti-classico-gran-selezione-terrazze-san-leolino","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
