Fontodi Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 'Vigna del Sorbo' 2022

Fontodi 'Vigna del Sorbo' is a single-vineyard red wine from the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany, produced by Fontodi. It has been labelled as a Gran Selezione since the 2010 vintage and is considered the estate's flagship bottling. The 2022 wine is made from 100% Sangiovese from an approximately nine-hectare plot with vines over 50 years old, on a southwest-facing slope at 450 metres in the Conca d'Oro basin of Panzano. It ages in barrique and French oak foudre for 24 months. Aromas include black cherry, plum, violet and graphite, with tobacco, balsamic herbs and warm spice. The palate delivers blackberry, black currant, plum, tar and sweet spice, with a polished texture and a long, intense finish.
