The 2016 Chianti Classico Fonterutoli is laced with dark cherry, plum, menthol lavender and spice. Succulent, pliant and wonderfully expressive, the 2016 shows an attractive darker side of Sangiovese that is further accentuated by the dollops of Malvasia Nera, Colorino and Merlot that round out the blend. This is very nicely done. – A.G.
