However, modernisation has not been overlooked, the family embraced organic farming practices in 1990s, insisting on the balance between the land and the vine. Their dedication to quality and respect for nature are why their wines continue to receive high critical acclaim.

In terms of wine-making, Fontodi is famed for its Chianti Classico and Flaccianello. The former is a blend of Sangiovese with a small percentage of other grape varieties, resulting in a harmonious symphony of bold fruit, earthy truffle and rustic cherry notes. Flaccianello, on the other hand, is pure Sangiovese and truly expresses this indigenous varietal's full potential producing remarkable structure, depth, and intensity.

The walk through the vineyards unfolds stunning vistas, and in the cellar, you can imbibe in the intricacies of winemaking, from fermentation to ageing.
