Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Showing enormous precision and direction, the 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Sorbo (with 25,000 bottles released) is a generous expression of Sangiovese that boasts singular intensity. This organic wine offers black fruit, grilled rosemary, pressed rose and crushed limestone. All of these aromas enjoy special, forward-moving intensity that dovetails into the ample fruit generosity that this sun-filled vintage will be remembered for.

Description

Fontodi Vigna del Sorbo is a treasure that holds the Chianti Classico DOCG designation, one of the highest distinctions in the region. The wine is made exclusively from Sangiovese grapes, which guarantees its authenticity and distinctive character. These grapes are grown in the Vigna del Sorbo, a vineyard with a south-west exposure and vines that have an average age of 55 years. The planting density varies between 3,500 and 6,000 vines per hectare, and the pruning system used is Guyot.

Winemaking

Fermentation with indigenous yeasts and maceration for 3 weeks is carried out in stainless steel tanks. Subsequently, the wine is racked into French oak barrels and foudres where it ages for 24 months, giving it an unparalleled complexity and structure. The average production of this wine is 25,000 bottles per year.

Taste

Fontodi Vigna del Sorbo has a beautiful garnet ruby colour, high robe, with light rim. Its body is dense, reflecting its alcohol content of 15 degrees. On the nose, a blend of ripe red and black fruits is perceived. The French oak contributes smoothness and very pleasant vanilla and smoky aromas, with hints of cream cheese, lactic and light floral notes. In the mouth it is sweet, ample and very well structured.
