Fontodi Chianti Classico 2017

Frost First, Then Drought

Fontodi Chianti Classico 2017 · Tuscany, Italy · tasted 16 December 2020

An April frost cost Fontodi a large part of the 2017 crop, and then the summer turned hot and dry. Giovanni Manetti has argued that the first disaster is what protected the estate from the second. Opened half an hour after a Côte-Rôtie, on the same table.
