Description
Fontodi has belonged to the Manetti family since 1968.
Fontodi is a certified organic estate which extends over 130 hectares of which about 70 are planted with vines. The type of agriculture practised 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.
Giovanni Manetti and Fontodi represent the pinnacle of quality that can be achieved in this part of Tuscany. That he has become a symbolic head of the region only brings more prestige and pedigree to an appellation that demands our highest respect and admiration.
Tasting Notes
“The 2024 Meriggio is bright, crisp and refreshing, all qualities that make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next few years. Dried pear, flowers and chamomile lend quite a bit of character. Most of the wine is done in steel, with blocked malolactic fermentation. A touch of oak and amphora, along with some lots that do undergo malolactic fermentation, rounds things out nicely.” [90/100 points- Antonio Galloni – July 2025 – vinous.com]
