Complex nose featuring savory notes, stony minerality and dried citrus alongside crushed berries, iodine and hints of balsamic. Compact and structured, yet not overwhelming, with a medium to full body and firm, beautifully integrated tannins. Balanced and vibrant with fresh acidity and impressive fruit concentration. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. (95) JAMES SUCKLING
The Fontodi 2022 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Pastrolo stands apart from the other top-end wines in this portfolio thanks to its fruit sourcing. It comes from a vineyard at 600 meters in elevation in the tiny enclave community of Lamole, located in one of the most isolated corners of the appellation with compact sandstone soils called Macigno del Chianti. It offers a punchy and bright personality with lots of berry fruit, grilled watermelon and macerated cherry skin-like aromas. (94) MONICA LARNER, The Wine Advocate
The 2022 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Pastrolo, Fontodi's wine from Lamole, is so promising. Crushed red berry fruit, blood orange, sage, mint, lavender and white pepper give the 2022 striking aromatic presence. A wine of nuance and delineation, the 2022 is seriously impressive. It was fermented in terracotta because of the small size of the site, followed by aging in used 600- and 228-litre barrels for 18 months. (95) ANTONIO GALLONI, Vinous
