Fontodi FONTODI Vin Santo del Chianti Classico 2013

Description

The Fontodi farm was bought by the Manetti family in 1968. Its location – right in the center of the Chianti Classico denomination, with vineyards facing south, soils rich in marl, in the beautiful natural amphitheater which is the Conca d’oro of Panzano in Chiantia about 400 m asl – is dominant. The management has been organic for many years now; there is even a small group of Chianinas from which the base of the fertilizer is obtained to fertilize the vines. Some old vines from the 60s and 70s are still in production, but most have been replaced by high-density vineyards whose plants derive both from mass selection and from the best clones that emerged during the Chianti Classico 2000 project. The relatively recent construction of the new cellar is perfectly equipped and works on the principles of gravity which eliminates the need for pumping. Everything has been thought of and designed to make the best possible wines.

Il Vin Santo del Chianti Classico di Fontodi è prodotto con Malvasia e Sangiovese. Le uve vengono raccolte e messe ad appassire per 5 mesi. Dopo la pressatura il mosto viene messo in caratelli da 50 e 110 litri di castagno e rovere francese sigillati, in presenza di madre, dove rimane per almeno 6 anni.
