Suckling om: Chianti Classico

Subtle aromas of sliced strawberries and cherries with some orange peel follow through to a medium body with succulent tannins and a bright and tangy finish. Lovely energy in this one. So good now. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. 94/100

Wine Spectator om: Chianti Classico

Rich and velvety, laced with black cherry, blackberry, violet and mineral flavors. This is driven by vibrant acidity and backed by well-mannered tannins. Shows excellent balance and length. Drink now through 2028. 9,750 cases made, 2,800 cases imported. 93/100

Galloni om: Chianti Classico

The 2020 Chianti Classico offers notable tension to balance the natural richness that is such a signature here. There is plenty of Panzano intensity, but less opulence than has been the norm in the past. A shift towards larger format oak and bottling four months earlier contribute to that feel. Dark red cherry, leather, spice, rose petal, dried herbs and wild flowers all grace this nuanced Chianti Classico. It will be interesting to see the direction this bottling takes. I would not plan on opening this too young. 92+/100

Decanter om: Chianti Classico

This flagship Chianti Classico from the renowned Fontodi estate has grown over the years to its current annual production of 170,000 bottles, however it has not lost its identity, deeply rooted in a sun-drenched stretch of Panzano’s Conca d’Oro. The 2020 version has all the ripe dark fruit and assertive tannins that come so neatly into balance. Grilled meat, baked earth and thyme flirt with black plum. The youthful juiciness has the energy to carry this over the next eight or so years. It finishes with its signature bitter liquorice twist. 92/100

Fontodi

Fontodi-ejendommen ligger i nærheden af Panzano i hjertet af Chianti Classico-regionen og er et af Toscanas absolutte flagskibe. Herfra kan man se ud over Conca d'Oro, "guldbassinet" syd for Panzano, dalen, hvis navn i årtier har stået for de pragtfulde sydvendte skråninger i vinmarkerne.
