Tasting Notes: Smoke and char, ripe fruit and light toasty oak character, with hints of new oak and spices mark the Fontodi Syrah Case Via. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins, fresh acidity and a flavorful finish. Made from organically-farmed fruit, this Syrah has big dark fruit, chewy tannins, and just a touch of pepper on the finish. Just waiting for grilled meat to complete it.
Estate History: 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.
