Note di degustazione
The 2007 Syrah is gorgeous in its dark varietal fruit. In this vintage the oak is a touch prominent, while slight elements of heat come through on the finish. If this settles down over the next few years it could easily merit a higher score. From a textural standpoint it is impeccable and totally finessed. The substantial finish bodes very well for the future.

The 2007 Syrah is gorgeous in its dark varietal fruit. In this vintage the oak is a touch prominent, while slight elements of heat come through on the finish. If this settles down over the next few years it could easily merit a higher score. From a textural standpoint it is impeccable and totally finessed. The substantial finish bodes very well for the future. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027. This is another set of beautiful wines from Fontodi and proprietor Giovanni Manetti. Fontodi’s 2007s have slightly lower acidities than the firmer 2006s, which makes them a touch more approachable and forward at this stage. That said, relative to most 2007 Tuscan reds, these are powerful, rich wines (Flaccianello in particular) that will benefit from some additional time in bottle. A maniacal attention to detail in both the vineyards and cellar sets Fontodi apart as one of Italy’s most inspired producers. Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel. (631) 467-5907
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.
