Fontodi Vigna del Sorbo 2021 is a single-vineyard Sangiovese from the Chianti Classico region, crafted from grapes sourced from certified organic vineyards. This wine showcases the characteristics of `galestro` soil, known for its rocky, schistous clay composition. The wine undergoes a 24-month maturation period in a combination of Troncais and Allier oak barrels, with 50% of the barrels being new. Fontodi, a greatly respected producer synonymous with terroir expression, employs a blend of modern and traditional winemaking techniques in their gravity-fed cellar.

Now boasting the proud Panzano UGA on the front label, the Fontodi 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Panzano Vigna del Sorbo is a little more delicate, even subdued, compared to its new brother, the more exuberant Terrazze San Leonlino. Vigna del Sorbo is a little more tuned in on itself, aromatically speaking, but reveals just enough complexity and sheer beauty to believe in the promise of its future aging potential. Even now, tasted so young, the wine`s pedigree is evident. It excels in terms of complexity and depth. The tannins are velvety soft, and soft mineral aromas add focus. This certified expression of Sangiovese comes from a single parcel within the sun-drenched Conca d`Oro basin of vines that distinguishes Panzano. The Vigna del Sorbo stands out as one of my favorite wines from this region made in 2021. - Monica Larner

The 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Sorbo is an absolute stunner. Deep, layered and explosive, the 2021 captures all of the magic of this year in spades. Black cherry, lavender, mocha, spice and licorice all soar out of the glass. A wine of statuesque beauty elegance, the 2021 is utterly mesmerizing. I would be in no rush to drink this. The 2021 spent 14-15 months in barrique (25% new) and then 7-8 months in cask.
