Vigna del Sorbo is Fontodi's flagship Gran Selezione, drawn from a single parcel within the fabled Conca d'Oro amphitheatre above Panzano in the heart of Chianti Classico. Farmed organically by the Manetti family for decades, this is pure Sangiovese in its most refined, site-expressive form.
The 2021 is an absolute stunner — deep, layered and explosive. Black cherry, lavender, mocha, sweet spice and liquorice soar from the glass, while a smoky incense overlay gives way to sunbaked earth and dark-toned fruit on the palate. Velvety-soft tannins, terracotta-like texture and a core of inner brightness carry the wine through a long, mineral-edged finish.
Aged 14–15 months in barrique (around 25% new) followed by 7–8 months in larger casks, Vigna del Sorbo is one of the most celebrated wines of Chianti Classico — built to drink beautifully from 2026 through to 2045.
