Fontodi spans the full range of the estate from the benchmark Chianti Classico through multiple vintages of Flaccianello della Pieve, their iconic Sangiovese IGT, to the crown jewel Vigna del Sorbo Chianti Classico Gran Selezione. The jewel in the crown of Tuscan reds, Brunello di Montalcino is well represented with offerings from Il Poggione, Casanova di Neri, Silvio Nardi, and the rare Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta. A group of curated Italian Collections rounds out the Italian session, offering mixed selections ideal for those seeking range across multiple producers in a single lot.

Critics Ratings

“Greve in Chianti. Impenetrable dark ruby with very narrow orange rim. Sweet, rich, internationally styled. Dense and rich on the palate too with enormous sweetness and concentration, but well balanced. Very international and upfront and still very young.” - Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com, 15.5/20 (Aug 2012)
