"Fontodi's 2006 Pinot Nero presents a very ripe, full-bodied expression of Pinot fruit, showing outstanding length and tons of style. It is one of the very few Tuscan Pinots that manages to reconcile varietal qualities with the warmth and generosity of Tuscany. This weighty, rich wine should develop beautifully in bottle." Robert Parker

"Einen sehr überzeugenden Auftritt bot der Syrah 'Case Via'. Pfeffer- und Würzakzente, Aromen reifer roter und dunkler Früchte sowie animalische Noten prägen den präzisen Duftvortrag; die perfekte Balance zwischen den Tanninanteilen, den seidigen Elementen und der Säurekraft garantieren einen charaktervollen und zugleich gefälligen Geschmack." Gambero Rosso 2008

"Intense aromas of blackberry and plum, with hints of meat. Full-bodied, with intense berry character and ripe tannins. Long and very stylish. Always one of the best Syrahs in Italy." Wine Spectator

Rubinrot verströmt der Pinot Nero 'Case Via' ein sortentypisches Bouquet nach Waldbeeren und Pfeifentabak, welches sich harmonisch mit der Fasswürze verbindet. Der weiche, charaktervolle Geschmack stützt sich auf die Kraft des Tannins und eine exzellente Aromastruktur. (superiore.de)

"The 2007 Pinot Nero is fat, juicy and ripe, but also impeccably balanced. This opulent Pinot flows from the glass as sensual varietal fruit is laced with elements of flowers, spices and game in a wine of notable purity. To be sure, the warmth of Panzano is felt, but the wine remains remarkably centered and poised. This is a gorgeous effort." Robert Parker

Auch der Jahrgang 2008 brachte einen Fontodi-Chianti wie wir ihn kennen und schätzen: Frisch, saftig, reich und doch süffig. Langer Nachhall inklusive. Ein Hochgenuss! (superiore.de)

"Feinduftiger, an Veilchen und Pflaumen erinnernder Wein, auf der Zunge Bitterschokolade, Gewürznelken und Süßholz, dabei zartgliedrig, geschliffen und mit moderater Säure - ein natürlich ausgewogener Wein, der keinen Flecken am Gaumen unberührt lässt. Eine Meisterleistung von Giovanni Manetti und weit mehr als "nur" ein Jahrgangs-Chianti." Wein-Gourmet

"This is a solid Chainti Classico, with beautiful plum, berry and milk chocolate aromas and flavors. Full body, with soft and velvety tannins and a long juicy finish. Really excellent. Fontodi is one of the stars of the region. Made from organic grapes." James Suckling

"The 2007 Chianti Classico Riserva Vigna del Sorbo is a wine that expresses a contemporary vision of what Chianti Classico can be but without ever fully abandoning its roots. The single-vineyard Vigna del Sorbo adds 10% Cabernet Sauvignon to the Sangiovese. Texturally it is classic Sangiovese with the fine, sweet tannins that are the hallmark of the vintage, while the Cabernet adds a sepia-hued dimension to the fruit and an element of greater richness in the body, but without dominating the aromatic or flavor profile. The radiant warmth of Panzano doesn't hurt either, as the fruit is gloriously ripe and soft in this vintage.

Everything is beautifully in balance, including the oak, which is barely perceptible. Today the Vigna del Sorbo is very young. It should start to be expressive around age ten and continue to drink beautifully for another decade-plus. Vigna del Sorbo remains a benchmark for the heights the international style of Chianti Classico can reach. This is another fabulous effort from proprietor Giovanni Manetti." Robert Parker

Ein brillanter, fruchtstrotzender Flaccianello '08. Das präzise Bouquet von Brombeere und Weichsel, dazu die dichte und sanfte Tanninstruktur ... Es gibt nur ganz wenige Sangiovese-Weine, die eine derartige Vollkommenheit aufweisen. (superiore.de)

"The raspberry, cherry, floral and spice aromas and flavors in this classy red show harmony even at this early stage. Fresh and focused, with a vibrant finish. Sweet fruit, mineral and spice notes resonate on the aftertaste." Wine Spectator

"The pureness of fruit is so intense here. It's also so clean and beautiful. The wine shows fabulous aromas of flowers, blueberries, and raspberries. It’s full-bodied, with chocolate, licorice, and plums. The texture is very velvety. This is a wine in near perfect proportions." James Suckling
