Fontodi has belonged to the Manetti family since 1968. The family has been associated for centuries with another activity typical of the Chianti region, the production of its famous “terrecotte” tiles. And it is in the name of this strong link with the territory and a great passion for quality that the estate has moved successfully towards an ever more attentive cultivation of the vineyards and a more profound knowledge of the potential of Sangiovese in the zone of Panzano.

-Respect and Quality-

​Fontodi is a certified organic estate which extends over 130 hectars of which about 70 are planted with vines. The type of agriculture practised is inspired by the principles of respect of nature and sustainability. Not only are no chemical products used but there is an effort to maximize the internal resources of the estate, thereby reducing the need for any external input. Respecting the environment means wines that are better, purer, and a truer expression of the grape and the territory.

-The wine at rest-

The process of vinification and ageing in wood takes place in the modern cellar, built on descending levels to take advantage of gravity, guaranteeing the most respect possible for the natural integrity of the grape, in order to exalt the character and elegance of the wines.

FILETTA DI LAMOLE

The Chianti Classico “Filetta di Lamole” is a red wine of good freshness and pleasantly tannic that comes from Sangiovese grapes grown on the extraordinary vineyards of Filetta at about 600 meters above sea level. Matured for 24 months in large barrels, it reveals an intense and refined profile, with a tonic, fresh and precise sip, enriched with a rich aromatic set of violets, currants, aromatic herbs, licorice and spices

• Colour: Ruby red with garnet reflections.
• Scent: Odorous debut marked by evidence of bitter orange, violet and aromatic herbs, wrapped in hints of undergrowth and light memories of licorice to conclude.
• Taste: In the mouth is dominated by a tasty freshness and a compound tannin. Inviting progression on a citrus path.
