Fontodi Chianti Classico 2018 exemplifies traditional Tuscan winemaking at its finest, delivering a pure and authentic expression of the Sangiovese grape grown in the prestigious Chianti Classico region. Crafted with absolute dedication to quality, this wine is composed entirely of 100% Sangiovese, reflecting the estate’s commitment to purity despite allowances for blending up to 20% of other varieties.

The 2018 vintage is a product of meticulous vineyard management and wild yeast fermentation, showcasing the estate’s focus on selecting the finest fruit to achieve exceptional character and finesse.
