{"product_id":"2021-fontodi-chianti-classico","title":"2021 Fontodi Chianti Classico","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Manetti family’s estate in Panzano’s famed Conca d’Oro amphitheatre has long been the beating heart of Chianti Classico, and the 2021 release shows exactly why. From organically farmed vines, now well along the road to biodynamic conversion, Giovanni and Bernardo Manetti craft a Chianti that captures both the depth of the site and the finesse of modern Fontodi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermented naturally in tanks and matured for 18 months in French oak, the wine balances tradition with polish. The nose opens with lifted red cherries, rose petals, and hints of leather, underpinned by a subtle earthy spice. The palate is bright and plush, layered with redcurrant and sour cherry, edged by savoury herbs and that telltale grip of fine Chianti tannin. It’s generous yet refined, approachable now but built to evolve gracefully over the next decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2021 has already been declared a landmark vintage in Chianti Classico - Antonio Galloni called it \u003cem\u003e“the single greatest young vintage I have ever tasted in Chianti Classico. Period. Full stop.”\u003c\/em\u003e Fontodi’s estate bottling epitomises that sentiment: vibrant, structured, and brimming with energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the gateway into Fontodi’s world, a wine that speaks of Panzano’s golden slopes as eloquently as any in the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The 2021 Chianti Classico is classic wine from the estate, done in the more restrained style that has become the norm here of late...
