Fontodi
The Manetti family has owned Fontodi since 1968, yet has been in Chianti for centuries, producing the finest terracotta at their factory in Ferrone. Giovanni Manetti has run the property since 1980 and ensures the wines are as meticulously made as the vineyards and cellar are both immaculately tended. Giovanni’s 90 hectares of vineyard, 90% of which are Sangiovese, are situated in the prime ‘Conca d‘Oro’ (golden shell) of Panzano, giving wines of supreme elegance, intensity and longevity.

Tuscany
Gone are the days when Tuscany's global wine exports were limited to wicker-bottomed bottles of cheap Chianti that graced every neighbourhood Italian restaurant from New Jersey to Manchester. Modern Tuscany is a large, diverse region and the beauty of its rolling landscapes and charming nature pulls in the tourists year after year. Red wines of every quality are its vinous calling cards but large quantities of crisp, flavoursome whites and honeyed, sweet wines are also present. The warm Mediterranean climate is a significant factor in Tuscany's consistent ability to produce excellent grapes, thanks to the warm days and cool nights that help the wines get the right balance of sweetness and acidity. Italy's most important red grape, Sangiovese, is right at home in Tuscany and is the backbone of Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino. Around Bolgheri, the famously expensive 'Super Tuscans' have their home and producers such as Antinori and Sassicaia make their famous wines from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes.

Sangiovese
Sangiovese
Sangiovese is a red wine grape variety originating from central Italy. Most famously used made for making the wines bearing the names Brunello di Montalcino and Chianti, it also is used to make varietal wines across Italy. Youthful Sangiovese wines will have soft strawberry and a light spiciness, but older, aged wines offer up sour cherries, tar and more complex savoury characteristics. The moderate tannin and high acidity allows for some ageing and the best wines have the capacity to demand high prices.
