Fontodi Chianti Classico 2007

92 points Tanzer 91 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): [$34 list] The 2007 Chianti Classico is fresh and perfumed as it bursts into the palate in a generous, silky expression of Sangiovese. This is an especially open vintage for the Chianti Classico that should drink well upon release. The balance, harmony and softness are all commendable. This is a fabulous effort from Fontodi. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. (May 2010) 91 points Wine Spectator: Blackberry and dark plum aromas follow through to a full body, with silky tannins and a bright, fruity finish. There's a nice combination of bright fruit and clean acidity. Drink now. (10/31/09) 91 points Wine Enthusiast: Soft, supple and inviting, this is a beautifully executed Chianti Classico that puts as much emphasis on the quality of aromas as it does on the feel the wine imparts in the mouth. It’s polished and plush with lingering notes of red fruit, spice and blue flowers. (Jun 2009)
