Fontodi 1999 White (Vin Santo del Chianti Classico)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $85
Caramel in color with golden highlights, this Vin Santo is delectably sweet with a pretty ensemble of aromas from butterscotch and honey to chestnut and dried fruit. It boasts a chewy, tasty mouthfeel and a sweet, long-lasting finish. It’s probably better to pair it with a cigar or pipe than with food.

Fontodi 2004 Riserva Vigna del Sorbo Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
This is an extremely elegant and beautiful wine that is tight and compact while being intense and generous at the same time. It offers luscious notes of ripe cherry, blueberry fruit and piquant highlights that recall Asian spices (10% Cabernet is added to the blend). It has a gorgeous mouthfeel, bright fruit flavors and silky tannins.

Fontodi 2000 Vigna del Sorbo Riserva Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- Editors' Choice
- $63
Lush and extracted, with laser-beam intensity, smoke and all the black cherry and herbs you could ask for. Gorgeous blackberry, plum and cherry flavors announce total ripeness, while the tannins are present but integrated. Modern in style, with a barrique-based personality.

Fontodi 2004 Flaccianello Sangiovese (Colli della Toscana Centrale)
- $120
Here’s a standout Sangiovese-based super Tuscan with a very unique peppermint-like characteristic that helps to increase the wine’s intensity and delicious overall effect. Beyond that layer of fresh mint are softer aromas of earth, white mineral, talc powder, pencil lead, cherry and spice. The wine has a strong mineral component.

Fontodi 2007 Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $30
Soft, supple and inviting, this is a beautifully executed Chianti Classico that puts as much emphasis on the quality of aromas as it does on the feel the wine imparts in the mouth. It’s polished and plush with lingering notes of red fruit, spice and blue flowers.

Fontodi 2001 Sangiovese (Chianti Classico)
- $32
Begins with a blast of bright cherry fruit, backed by subtle leather and tobacco aromas, before subsiding into a creamy mouthful of cherries and vanila. A slight herbal note adds complexity. Finish is rich and filled with supple tannins.
