Chianti Classico DOCG Fontodi is a wine produced on the estate of the same name located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany. Fontodi's vineyards stretch across hilly terrain rich in galestro, a type of clay and stony soil that gives the wine unique characteristics. The vineyards are cultivated mainly with Sangiovese grapes, the area's main varietal, but also with varieties such as Canaiolo and Colorino, which contribute complexity to the wine. The production process of Chianti Classico Fontodi begins with the manual harvesting of the grapes, followed by careful selection to ensure quality. After fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels of various sizes for at least 24 months, followed by an additional period of bottle aging before being marketed. The result is a wine of great structure and complexity, with notes of red fruits, spices and underbrush, supported by soft tannins and a pleasant freshness. Chianti Classico Fontodi lends itself to pairing with typical Tuscan dishes, such as ribollita, Florentine steak and aged cheeses, but it also goes well with more refined meat and game dishes.

Combinations

Chianti Classico DOCG Fontodi is a full-bodied and complex Tuscan red wine that pairs perfectly with red meat and game dishes. A classic pairing might be with roast beef or grilled tenderloin, where the succulence of the meat is balanced with the tannicity of the wine. Another interesting pairing could be with a pasta dish with wild boar ragout, typical of Tuscan cuisine, where the strong and wild taste of the wild boar meat goes perfectly with the red fruit and spice notes of Chianti Classico. For those who prefer cheeses, Chianti Classico DOCG Fontodi can be paired with aged cheeses such as Pecorino Toscano, which with its savoriness and texture contrasts with the softness and complexity of the wine. Finally, for a bolder pairing, you could try it with a dish of truffled porcini mushrooms, where the earthy taste of the mushrooms binds with the earthy and woody notes of the wine, creating a very interesting combination of flavors.
