Fontodi is located in the heart of Chianti Classico, precisely in the valley, which lies south of the town of Panzano and is called the “Conca d’Oro” (the golden shell) because of its amphitheater shape. A genuine and characteristic “Terroir”, famous for centuries for its tradition of quality wine cultivation, thanks to a unique combination of high altitude, calcar clayschist soil, lots of light and a fantastic micro-climate – warm and dry with a marked difference in day and night time temperature.
Fontodi is a certified organic estate, which extends over 130 hectares of which about 70 are planted with vines. The type of agriculture practiced is inspired by the principles of respect of nature and sustainability. Not only are no chemical products used but there is an effort to maximize the internal resources of the estate, thereby reducing the need for any external input. Respecting the environment means wines that are better, purer and a truer expression of the grape and the territory.
All Fontodi wines are produced from grapes coming from their own vineyards, picked by hand, chosen with care and vinified in a way that exalts the character of the vines and the territory.
