Chianti Classico Fontodi 2022 showcases the distinct character of Sangiovese from the esteemed Fontodi estate, established in the 1960s and known for its organic farming practices. This vintage presents concentrated notes of cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle herbs and earthy undertones. The mid-palate reveals structured tannins, which provide a firm backbone, while lively acidity adds freshness to the finish. The wine is crafted for approachability but can benefit from decanting. Best enjoyed from 2026 to 2032, it encapsulates a sense of place distinctly rooted in Tuscany`s terroir.

The organic Fontodi 2022 Chianti Classico shows a dark color and a deep, velvety appearance. The bouquet opens to earthy aromas with baked plum, cherry and pressed blue flower. This is quite a rich edition. It`s a little different than past releases, but it`s also accessible and opulent. This 100% Sangiovese is fermented in steel and ages in both barrique and botte for 24 months. Production is an ample 170,000 bottles. - Monica Larner

The 2022 Chianti Classico is a soft, easygoing wine, despite its considerable concentration. Black cherry, dried herbs, mocha, liquorice, new leather and cloves open nicely. In this warm vintage, the goal was to harvest early and extract lightly, both of which worked quite well. In tasting, the 2022 comes across as a bit compact and light in structure relative to the norm for this wine. Antonio Galloni10th July 2025
