Impressive aromas of blackberries and paprika with some toffee. Full-bodied, round, soft and luscious. Hard not to drink now, but better in two or three years.

Omschrijving
Fontodi's spiksplinternieuwe Terrazze San Leolino Gran Selezione is een knaller. San Leolino werd 200 jaar geleden plaatselijk erkend als een cru-site. De onlangs vernieuwde terrassen liggen op 450 meter hoogte in Panzano maar - in tegenstelling tot Fontodi's Vigna del Sorbo, dat wordt gekenmerkt door Galestro - is de grond hier kalkhoudend. Hoewel recentelijk gebotteld, is deze al zeer toegankelijk met zijn aardse, steenachtige, mineraalachtige aroma's. Elegant en toch diep, het gehemelte toont roos, rode kers en aanwezig maar zeer fijnkorrelige tannines, eindigend met een pittig ziltigheid. Het kan zeker nog wat flesrijping gebruiken alhoewel deze vanuit de 3 iconen (Flaccianello, Vigna del Sorbo) het meest toegankelijk is in zijn jonge jaren.

Here is yet another surprise from Fontodi born during the pandemic. A second new addition to the portfolio, the 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Terrazze San Leonlino is made with organic fruit from a parcel near the little chapel of the same name in the Conca d'Oro of Panzano. The winey team had noticed a difference in quality from this 4.5-hectare site with limestone alberese soils at a cool 450 to 500 meters in elevation. The best fruit from 15-year-old vines was put aside to make this 5,000-bottle inaugural release. The celebrated Vigna del Sorbo is not too far away, but compared to the wine made from that site, Terrazze San Leonlino is sharper, more focused and offers streamlined fruit weight. The bouquet veers toward wild roses and Mediterranean herb, giving more vertical push to the aromas. The tannins are silky and polished. This new brand will grow slowly over the coming years.
Call it a "lockdown illumination," the COVID-19 pandemic years were especially fruitful for Fontodi's Giovanni Manetti. Given time to reflect and walk through his vineyard rows in the amphitheater of postcard-perfect vines known as the Conca d'Oro in Panzano in Chianti, Manetti decided it was time to enlarge his portfolio. Specifically, he sought an opportunity to better articulate the concept of Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, which is in essence a perfect vehicle for a grand cru winemaking philosophy. His existing Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Sorbo is a flagship for this highest category of the appellation, but alas, it represents just one vineyard site. Fruit is sourced from an area with a greater presence of schistous galestro for dark fruit, etched mineral notes and pencil shavings. Now, that wine can be seen in context. Two new wines, the Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Terrazze San Leonlino and the Chianti Classico Pastrolo, are now in production. They come from radically different sites and soils. "We now have three wines to match three soils," says Giovanni Manetti from his spacious tasting room while morning sun streams in from the windows. The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Terrazze San Leonlino comes from a site in Panzano not too far from Vigna del Sorbo. However, this little parcel near the San Leonlino country chapel is characterized by limestone alberese that makes fresh wines that are not as dark in character. Equally exciting is the Chianti Classico Pastrolo from old vines in terraced vineyards in high-elevation Lamole. This areas tends to have Macigno Toscano, or sandstone. The Conca d'Oro vineyard in Panzano in Chianti has both galestro and alberese with pietraforte (the same hard stone used to build Palazzo Pitti in nearby Florence) at the higher rim of the vineyard. Flaccianello della Pieve is a selection of fruit from various sites, with much of it coming from the areas with pietraforte. Giovanni Manetti is pushing the boundaries of Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, and he is interested in capturing the freshness and transparency of wines identified by their soils. These efforts are timed to the announcement of the new Chianti Classico UGAs, or subzones. I also think this post–COVID era represents an exciting new start for Lamole, one of the most remote and untouched villages in the wider Chianti Classico appellation. Cooler growing sites are ideal for wineries looking for alternatives in a warmer climate. If a powerhouse estate such as Fontodi continues to invest in Lamole, we will certainly see more interest in the area in the years to come.

From: Chianti Classico: The Magnificent 2021s (Jul 2024)
The 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Terrazze San Leolino is another highlight in this range from Fontodi. It's a huge step up from the 2020. Red cherry, iron, spice, leather, licorice, crushed rocks and herbs make a strong first impression. Bright acids, the result of elevation and a year with wide diurnal swings, yielded a Gran Selezione of stunning elegance, complexity and finesse. The 2021 spent 14-15 months in barrique (25% new) followed by 7-8 months in cask. The San Leolino is one of the newer wines in the Fontodi range. The 2021 suggests it could be one of the new flagships here.
- By Antonio Galloni on June 2024
Proprietor Giovanni Manetti and his son Bernardo presented a stunning set of 2021s on my most recent visit. The wines embody the essence of site but in the more refined, nuanced style that is such a signature here today. Picking a bit earlier while also reducing French oak imprint has made a huge difference. I can’t recommend these new releases highly enough.
As for Giovanni Manetti, he continues to lead the way in Chianti Classico by making brilliant wines while also uniting producers around a vision for the region in his role as two-term President of the Consorzio del Chianti Classico. These are exceptionally rare qualities in any individual, but to see them in one person is impressive.

Fontodi’s brand spanking new Terrazze San Leolino Gran Selezione is a stunner. San Leolino was recognised locally as a cru site 200 years ago. The recently renewed terraces sit at 450 metres in Panzano but – unlike Fontodi’s Vigna del Sorbo, which is characterised by Galestro – the soil here is calcareous Alberese. Though recently bottled, this is forthright in its earthy, stony, mineral-like aromas. Elegant yet profound, the palate demonstrates decisive rose, red cherry and long-chained, enveloping tannins, finishing with a tangy salinity. It is still very buttoned up but has so much promise.

Op zoek naar de de geweldige wijnen van Fontodi uit Tocane/Chianti. Wij hebben bij Grandcruwijnen een exclusief assortiment aan Fontodi wijnen. Als u een wijn van Fontodi wilt kopen geldt: Per fles te bestellen, 24 uurs levering en sparen voor korting!
De Azienda Agricola Fontodi is in het hart van het Chianti Classico gebied gelegen, ten zuiden van het stadje Panzano. Deze regio is al eeuwen lang beroemd om de wijnbouw, dit is te danken aan de unieke combinatie van hooggelegen aanbouwgebieden, kalk- en leembodem, heel veel zonne-uren en het fantastische microklimaat: warm en droog en met een groot verschil tussen dag- en nachttemperatuur.
Fontodi is sinds 1968 in het bezit van de familie Manetti, die geadviseerd wordt door de bekende oenoloog Franco Bernabei. Het Fontodi wijngoed heeft intussen een biocertificaat en is 130 ha. groot, waarvan er ca. 70 met druiven zijn beplant. In het centrum van het wijngoed groeit de Sangiovese, die Giovanni en Marco Manetti tot haast adembenemende perfectie hebben ontwikkeld. Daarnaast zijn er nog Franse druivensoorten zoals de Pinot Noir, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon en Sauvignon Blanc. Net zoals zoveel grote namen aan de top van de wijnbouw heeft ook Fontodi de zo vruchtbare combinatie tussen de biologische aanbouw en de meest moderne keldertechniek toegepast en is daardoor één van de duurzaamste wijngoederen van de Toscane geworden. Tot op heden hebben Fontodi wijnen al 19 maal de zo begerenswaardige drie glazen van de Italiaanse wijnbijbel Gambero Rosso binnengehaald. Hiermee behoort Fontodi onomstreden tot de 10 beste wijngoederen van de Toscane! In de laatste 17 edities van de Gambero Rosso heeft het maar liefst 13 maal een beoordeling behaald van 'Tre Bicchieri'. Het hoogst haalbare.
