"The Fontodi 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Terrazze San Leonlino is a new addition to this exciting portfolio, now in its second vintage. With fruit from the upper part of the Conca d'Oro of Panzano, this wine shows a robust and powerful personality with a strong alcohol content of 15%. The bouquet is rich in cherry liqueur, blackberry cherry and dried plums. The fruit is stronger and you can taste the ripeness of the grape skins. The wine has an almost carbonated quality that reminds me of cherry cola, and it finishes with a sweet note and soft tannins. Only 5,000 bottles were produced." Wine Advocate 94p
"Flavours of ripe cherries, bark, damp earth and spices follow through to a full body with soft and velvety tannins supported by a juicy acidity that gives the wine complexity and focus." James Suckling 95p
"Deep in colour, this luscious red shows both power and finesse, packed with aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, violets, iron and spices. Expressive and beautifully balanced, but ready for a long development thanks to its solid structure. It shows great finesse and finishes with a long aftertaste." Wine Spectator 97p
