Co mówią o Fontodi krytycy:

See details of our Italian Wine Festival for other Italian tasting notes. The Manettis have owned this 70 hectare estate near Panzano in the middle of the Classico zone since 1968 and continue to invest considerable money and effort, including a new winery in 1998. Despite this the 1997s, as so often in Chianti Classico, are looking pretty impressive. Franco Bernabei has consulted since 1979. Vigna del Sorbo is 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon typically, aged in Allier barriques for 19 months. There is no 2002 Vigna del Sorbo because they sold 50% of the vintage in bulk and the rest was sold...
Widać, że nie mają presji, aby rokrocznie wypuszczać Vigna del Sorbo. A Franco Bernabei, to chyba kiedyś w San Leonardo doradzał, o ile mi się nie pomyliło.

It was Dino Manetti who made the purchase, although today it is the next generation, in the shape of the aforementioned Giovanni, who is in charge. His first involvement in the family winery was in 1979, and before long he had hired Franco Bernabei as consultant. Today Bernabei is highly regarded within the Chianti region, perhaps with a reputation for favouring the traditional over the modern, and his name has been associated with a number of leading estates including not only Fontodi but also Fèlsina and Molino di Grace. Together Giovanni and Franco have transformed Fontodi, modifying and improving the estate as required and shaping the portfolio of wines into one that includes not one but two world class expressions of the Chianti style (even if they are not both officially designated as Chianti).
Ciekawe, że ten sam winemaker, a wina zgoła odmienne. Mówię o Felsinie i Fontodi, no ale może różnice klimatyczne znaczne, bo o terroir nawet się nie zająknę;-)
