The Fontodi 2019 Chianti DOCG Classico, from the historic vineyards of San Leonino, represents an authentic masterpiece of Tuscan winemaking tradition. This dry red wine, with an alcohol content of 15%, is primarily made from Sangiovese grapes, the emblematic variety of the region, enhanced by a small percentage of Colorino and Canaiolo grapes. The 2019 vintage benefited from an ideal Mediterranean climate, with warm summer days and cool nights that imparted extraordinary complexity to the fruit.
In appearance, the Chianti Classico presents a deep, vibrant, and luminous ruby color. On the nose, it releases an intense bouquet of red fruits, with notes of ripe cherry, plum, and a slight hint of vanilla, a result of aging in oak barrels. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and intense, with well-structured tannins that accompany a long and persistent finish, marked by hints of spices and wood.
Ideal food pairings include typical dishes of Tuscan cuisine: pici cacio e pepe, wild game ragù pasta, or a succulent piece of grilled meat. The Fontodi 2019 Chianti Classico is not just a wine, but a true sensory experience that transports you to the heart of Tuscany, a land rich in history, passion, and winemaking tradition. A unique opportunity to toast to the beauty of life.
