Chianti Classico Terrazze San Leolino Gran Selezione 2019 Fontodi 75cl
‘Terrazze San Leolino’, Fontodi’s latest Gran Selezione, is produced from a 5 hectare terraced single vineyard. These terraces face south-west, sitting below the beautiful church of San Leolino (from where, incidentally, the cross that adorns the Flaccianello label resides beside the altar). Giovanni initially bought the site for its olive trees, as he had been told he couldn’t plant vines as it was not historically a vineyard. Ever persistent, he set about looking for historical proof and found a painting in the state archives in Florence showing the hills planted with vines in the 1500s. The limestone soil gives a wine with great vibrancy and freshness, and one that is quite different in style to Sorbo. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeast for 3 weeks, after which is aged in French oak barrels and casks for 24 months, of which 6 months in new oak and 18 months in old oak.
