Fontodi’s Vigna del Sorbo 2020 is a masterful expression of Sangiovese from one of Chianti Classico’s most iconic crus. Sourced from old vines rooted in the limestone-rich soils of Panzano’s celebrated “Conca d’Oro,” this Gran Selezione combines power, purity and remarkable finesse. The 2020 vintage delivered exceptional balance, and Fontodi’s organic farming and meticulous vineyard work shine through in a wine of great clarity and tension. Long macerations, careful extraction and aging in large French oak allow the terroir to speak with precision and depth.

In the glass, it opens with intense aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, violet, and Tuscan herbs, layered with subtle notes of spice, tobacco and graphite. The palate is rich yet beautifully sculpted — vibrant acidity and firm, fine-grained tannins frame concentrated fruit and savoury complexity. The finish is long, mineral and confidently structured, signalling outstanding aging potential. Vigna del Sorbo 2020 is a benchmark Gran Selezione: elegant, profound and undeniably one of the great modern expressions of Chianti Classico.
