FONTODI TUSCAN WINE TASTING With Special Guest Owner Giovanni Manetti Thursday, November 13, 2025 7:30 PM and all the Fontodi Wines in the Store on SALE!!
If reassurances could dull pain, nobody would ever go to the trouble of pressing grapes.
SCOTT LYNCH, The Lies of Locke Lamora
The Manetti family has owned Fontodi since 1969 but has been in Chianti for centuries. Though they have always made wine, their primary business is still the production of Chiantii´s 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 are immaculately tended. Their 80 hectares of vineyard, 90% of which are Sangiovese, are situated in the prime i´concadi´oroi´ (golden shell) of Panzano, and over the past decade these have been converted to organic viticulture. Giovanni is now following biodynamic principles to obtain the best quality fruit. There are 80 hectares of south facing vineyards, all of which are found in an amphitheatre-shaped valley to the south of Panzano. This shape facilitates the full ripening of the grapes. The stony galestro soils allow for excellent drainage and encourage the vines to put down deep roots.
Fontodi has been one of our favorite wineries in Tuscany since before I bought the store in 1998, these wines were on the wine list at Café Maxx when I was the sommelier there from 1990-1996 and we have hosted dozens of events with the wines of Fontodi over the years. So, when I heard the owner of Fontodi Giovanni Manetti was in town I jumped at the chance to host him at the wine bar. I have known Giovanni for years and although we have hosted several events through the years together this is the first time he will be at the wine bar, it will be a VERY special night I assure you!! Don’t wait to make your reservation for this event it will surely sell out!!
If you can’t make the tasting and LOVE Fontodi’s wines we have one of the largest collection of their wines in the store up to 12 liters in size with over 80 Selections!! We offer these sale prices for the next two weeks leading up to the event.
The fee for this tasting which includes dinner is $275 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com. Please let us know when you make youre reservations if you have any dietary restrictions and chefs Toni and Dani will be happy to accommodate you.

A bit about Fontodi:
In the beginning there were Fontodi bricks and tiles. The work comes from fonte di odo, which means a place rich with water. Brunelleschi’s Florentine cupola was restored with Fontodi tiles. Ancient and modern day Florentine homes use Fontodi tiles for decoration and for their natural warmth. The same family made the bricks that pave the Uffizi Galley in Florence. This family with the same hand and the same will has also been involved with the wine but for a shorter time. It was Maria, the mother, who took an active part in the winery. She first got the family interested in wine They purchased the winery in 1968, and by 1980 the had moved there from Panzano. It is a difficult land to farm but it yields some of the finest stone and clay for bricks, and tiles, but the finest oils and the most noble wines.
Today, Fontodi is one of the leaders in Chianti, their wines have consistently impressed the critics; from the Gambero Rosso (the Italian wine bible), Robert Parker of The Wine Advocate (the American authority on wine), to The Wine Spectator (the most popular international wine/lifestyle publication), all of these publications have waxed poetic about the wines from this estate. The estate of Fontodi is on a hill just south of Panzano, from where you can look across the valley towards Rampolla and Cafaqqio. The gardens are full of Rosemary and in May the cuckoos are noisy. Since the Manetti family has owned the estate they have undertaken a major renovations of the vineyards. The young and talented owner, Giovanni Manetti, is one of the most far-sighted and intellectual grower-producers in all of Italy. His estate is enchanting, not only because of the villa where it is based is spectacularly beautiful, but also because Manetti has consistently made quality the first priority in all areas of the business, from rootstock, to trellising, to hiring the brightest mind in winemaking in all of Italy, Franco Bernabei. Franco has won more "Glasses" in Gambero Rosso than anyone in the history of the guide. Manetti’s greatest attribute is his common sense and his commanding personality which makes others stand up and listen.
The winery focuses its efforts on seven wines. Two Chianti’s, a Classico and a single vineyard wine called Vigna Del Sorbo. The Chianti Classico is 100% sangiovese and is the product of traditional winemaking. The wine is aged for six months in oak barrels, it completes its refinement in the bottle. It is a graceful, balanced, elegant, and stylish wine, but still easily to enjoy in its youth. The Vigna Del Sorbo Chianti Classico Riserva is a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon blended according to traditional methods and matured in small oak casks.
The flagship wine Flaccianello Della Piave, a 100% Sangiovese based wine which until the 2004 vintage this wine was made from a single vineyard surrounding the age-old parish church in Panzano, but from 2005 on it has become a selection of the best Sangivoese from the entire property. This wine is made with carefully controlled fermentation and strict temperature control during the initial stages. It is big and powerful wine yet retains a ripe, soft, seductive character.
The only white produced here is named Meriggio, it is 100% sauvignon blanc grapes vinified in stainless steel tanks, temperature-controlled and matured on lees for 6 months. This is the first time this wine has been exported to the U.S. and we are proud to be the exclusive retailer of this wine in South Florida!
Two of the smallest production wines with the Fontodi moniker are the Syrah and Pinot Nero cuvées bottled under the Case Via label. The Pinot Noir reflects the influences on Giovanni's wine education, having grown up at a time when Chianti was a much derided region, and he looked abroad to Burgundy, among other regions, for inspiration. The Pinot Noir vines were planted in 1985, as were the Syrah vines, during a period of youthful experimentation for Manetti. The Syrah is one of the best examples of this varietal made in Italy and can rival the Flaccianello in quality in great vintages.
Fontodi also makes a Vinsanto, an Italian dessert wine, this is a blend of malvasia and sangiovese grapes which are naturally air dried on straw mats until December. After a soft pressing the wine is aged for four years in four different kinds of wood (oak, chestnut, cherry and juniper) in cask that vary also in age and capacity. This wine has a yellow-golden color and a delicate fragrance of honey and hazelnuts. On the palate it is dry, warm, fragrant but suitably soft.

(96 Points) Manetti-s 2004 Flaccianello della Pieve (100% Sangiovese aged in 100% new oak) is simply stunning. Fresh and vibrant, it offers compelling aromatics and endless layers of fruit that develop in the glass, with superb length on the palate and gorgeous overall balance. Although it is still holding back much today, make no mistake about it, Flaccianello is one of Italy-s blue-chip wines and the 2004 is a profound vintage for this wine. In order to enjoy its full range of expression readers will have to wait at least another five years after which it will provide memorable drinking to age 25, perhaps longer. A recent bottle of the 1982 was still full of life when tasted a few months ago. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029. Wine Advocate # 171, June 2007

(96 Points) Now to a superstar of Italian enology: The 2010 Flaccianello della Pieve will take your breath away. This is a seriously beautiful Sangiovese-based wine with the kind of intensity and aromatic purity you only experience every 1,000 wines or so. There’s a lot to say here. First, the wine’s beautiful appearance shows dark garnet colors with highlights of ruby and purple gemstone. The bouquet delivers a steady and seductive evolution with dark cherry, chocolate, spice, tobacco and sweet almond all seamlessly balanced one against the other. Its texture and inner fabric is rich, velvety and firm. There’s a brilliant spot of acidity that hits you at the back of the mouth and helps the wine from feeling too heavy or dense. In fact, outstanding elegance is what ultimately sets it apart. The temptation to drink it now is huge, but those still young tannins definitely need a few more years to unwind. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2035. Fontodi’s Giovanni Manetti has released one of the top Italian wines of 2010. His Flaccianello della Pieve (assembled from the best parcels of Sangiovese) is an expression of profound beauty and elegance. I tasted this wine early in my work for this issue and found myself returning to my note over and over again, comparing the other great wines of 2010 to Flaccianello. It became my benchmark for the vintage. Wine Advocate #208, Aug 2013

(98 Points) The Fontodi 2021 Flaccianello della Pieve opens to a medium-dark inky appearance and solid aromas of black fruit and pressed blackberry. The Flaccianello is a touch more accessible at this early stage compared to the Vigna del Sorbo, but both wines are undoubtedly built to withstand ample cellar aging. Flaccianello is the more powerful or the two, and the Vigna del Sorbo is more delicate in comparison. These dueling character traits are especially evident in this classic 2021 vintage. This wine also boasts a more generous mouthfeel supported by softly integrated tannins. (ML) Wine Advocate, Review Date: 07/2024

2019 Fontodi Filetta di Lamole Chianti Classico
Price: $57.00 Your Price: $50.16 Quantity in Stock: 1
(93 points) This is a distinctive and fun wine that cements Giovanni Manetti's growing fondness for the high-elevation Lamole area of the appellation that has always been regarded as somewhat detached or isolated from the rest of the appellation. In the face of climate change, the authenticity of Lamole, and its cooler growing conditions, are an important asset. Manetti tells me that 2018 was a good year, but it rained more and was generally harder to manage. The 2019 vintage is classic, with balanced results thanks to regular weather patterns. The organic 2019 Chianti Classico Filetta di Lamole speaks to a wine style that is winning over those who love elegant Sangiovese. The wine is punchy and bright with a pretty array of wild cherries, blue flowers and dusty mineral. Manetti says he remembers how those same fresh aromas filled the winery during fermentation. -Wine Advocate. 2021 Fontodi Filetta Di Lamole Chianti Classico
Price: $60.00 Your Price: $52.80 Quantity in Stock: 3
(93 points) The 2021 Chianti Classico Filetta di Lamole is fabulous. In fact, it is the best edition of this wine yet, as it marries all the aromatic intensity and energy of Lamole with an extra kick of fruit and mid-palate pliancy. Dark red cherry, plum, spice, rose petal, crushed rocks and herbs build into the layered finish. What a wine. -Vinous.

(94 Points) The 2021 Chianti Classico is classic wine from the estate, done in the more restrained style that has become the norm here of late. There's plenty of Panzano richness, but more energy and less heaviness than what was common just a few years ago. Giovanni Manetti and his team have given the Chianti Classico gorgeous refinement. Spice, flowers, mocha and blue fruits linger, all wrapped together by ultra-finessed tannins. The 2021 spent 20-22 months in barrel-65% cask and 35% neutral French oak barriques. - Antonio Galloni Vinous, July 2024

(93 Points) The 2016 Dino is 100% Sangiovese done in terra cotta which brings out the wine's perfumed aromatics and bright acid profile. A touch of reduction -typical of wines done in amphora - adds striking character to play off the young Sangiovese acids and tannins. Dino remains distinctive if hard to place stylistically within the range as it is quite different from the other wines here. Vinous

(93 points) “The 2020 Chianti Classico Dino is a selection of Sangiovese from Fontodi’s coolest site, fermented in terra cotta amphora. It shows all the richness of Panzano, but with more tannic drive than most of the wines in this range, likely because there is no sweetness or textural suaveness imparted by oak. Readers will find a wild, raw Chianti Classico that needs a year or two to soften. Drinking window: 2025-2035. -Vinous.

(98 points) The 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Sorbo is another benchmark wine from Tuscany that shows the incredible potential of this iconic vintage. This beautiful single-vineyard Sangiovese reveals a graceful side with dark fruit intensity, cherry, plum, fresh violets and tilled earth. Tar, tobacco and licorice appear as delicate background tones, giving more volume and texture to the wine's sensorial impact. Vigna del Sorbo shows its own precise identity that is fiercely faithful to Sangiovese, but that also pushes the boundaries to go beyond our highest expectations of the grape in terms of color, concentration, aromatic complexity and staying power. That's the Panzano magic in a nutshell. (ML) Inner quote mark (7/2019). -Wine Advocate

(94 points) The Fontodi 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Terrazze San Leonlino (a certified organic wine) is a new addition to this exciting portfolio, now in its second vintage. With fruit from the upper part of the Conca d'Oro of Panzano, this wine shows a more robust and powerful personality with a strong 15% alcohol content. It ages in barrique and botte for 24 months. The bouquet is rich with cherry liqueur, blackberry kirsch and dried plum. There is more fruit weight here and you taste the ripeness in the grape skins. The wine has an almost carbonic quality that reminds me of cherry cola, and it ends on a sweet note with soft tannins. -Robert Parker.

(96 points) The 2022 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Terrazze San Leolino is very quickly becoming one of the flagship wines at Fontodi. Elevation and alberese soils yield a Chianti Classico endowed with striking salinity and tension. Dark red cherry, plum, spice, new leather, incense and blood orange stain the palate. The 2022 spent 12 months in French oak barriques and a second year in French oak casks. What a wine! Vinous

Rich, opulent, and wonderfully complex, this organic Vin Santo from Fontodi offers terrific complexity, profound aromatics, and a decadent drinking experience. Layers of dried figs, apricots, and raisins are dusted with cocoa powder and baking spices, drizzled with salted caramel, and shot through with orange zest and marmalade in this important Vin Santo. A blend of Malvasia and Sangiovese, Fontodi’s Vin Santo gives a nice balance among its elements — silky tannins, fresh acidity, juicy fruits, salty minerals, and lingering sweetness.
