Note di degustazione
The 1990 Chianti Classico Riserva Vigna del Sorbo bursts from the glass with huge fruit. Still remarkably deep and powerful, the 1990 wraps around the palate with layers of sweet, perfumed fruit and dazzling texture. This seamless, voluptuous wine captures the essence of one of the all-time great vintages in Tuscany. Even after all these years, the 1990 remains one of the greatest Sorbos ever made. This is a remarkable achievement and an early masterpiece from proprietor Giovanni Manetti and longtime winemaker Franco Bernabei. Best of all, well-stored bottles will continue to thrill readers for at least another decade. Wow!

An old-wine nose. A bit dry. Light and dusty. A bit tart – food please! Very, very drying finish. Hurry! (JR)
The three new releases from Fontodi, one of the stars of Tuscany, all possess distinctive personalities. My favorite is the saturated, dark-colored 1990 Chianti Classico Riserva Vigna del Sorbo, a wine of considerable richness, a spicy, leathery, cedary nose and flavors, medium to full body, moderate tannin, and adequate acidity. Although tightly knit, backward, and unevolved, it displays loads of promise. With 1-2 additional years of cellaring it may merit an outstanding rating. It is a rich, harmonious Chianti for drinking over the next 10-12 years. Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY.
Informazioni sul produttore
Situata vicino a Panzano in Chianti, la tenuta Fontodi fu acquisita dalla famiglia Manetti nel 1968, che ne ha accresciuto la fama. Oggi è rinomata per il Flaccianello della Pieve, un Sangiovese Super Tuscan in purezza, prodotto per la prima volta nel 1981.
