A great value Chianti Classico from a boutique estate in the village of Panzano. The Le Fonti is composed mainly of bright-fruited Sangiovese with some extra depth and structure brought by the inclusion of a small portion of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. A classic Chianti for a very reasonable price, the Le Fonti is a perfect match with any cuisine.
Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"Le Fonti’s Chianti Classico reveals the fresh fruit, well balanced acidity and spices that the Sangiovese grape is praised for, rounded with a little addition of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels and another 6 months in the bottle before being released on the market."

93/100 Antonio Galloni, Vinous (2019 Vintage)
"The 2019 Chianti Classico is an elegant, nuanced wine. Sweet tobacco, cherry, cinnamon and subtle earthy notes all run through the 2019. Even with its recent bottling, the 2019 is aromatically expressive, nuanced and so expressive. It’s a terrific effort from Le Fonti in Panzano."
