Wine Spectator 95 points - Gorgeous aromas of blackberry, light toasty oak, cream and flowers follow through to a full-bodied palate, with supersilky tannins and a long, long finish. Wonderful. Sangiovese. Best after 2010. 4,000 cases made. –JS

The Name Fontodi comes from the Latin "Fons-odi" and dates back to Roman times when vines were first cultivated in this region. Additionally, 16th century documents providing evidence of vinification on the holding and farm of "Case Via" have recently been found. From the beginning of the 1900's, the wines of Fontodi have been exported all over the world, receiving many awards for their quality at important exhibitions. The Manetti Family, who originate from the Chianti region, has been devoted to the production of traditional terra cotta for over three centuries. In 1968, the family bought Fontodi and ever since has endeavored to improve methods of production and acquires new vineyard sites. Importer Vinifera Imports
