Everyone has probably heard of Chianti, the most photographed landscape in the world in the heart of Tuscany, in the Florence, Siena and Arezzo triangle. A region full of art, culture, delicious food and especially wine. There is one grape that reigns in the Chianti, and that is the Sangiovese, the red superstar in Italy. The best wine is made from this in the Chianti Classico region. And within this region you still have the superlative in quality around the village of Panzano. Similar to a Grand Cru area in Burgundy. Giovanni Manetti from the Fontodi winery owns the very best vineyards in the Conca d'Oro valley. In a kind of natural amphitheater at a height of 450 meters, the grapes ripen optimally here thanks to the excellent microclimate, which provides a lot of heat and a sufficient difference in day and night temperature. The grazing Chianina cows among the vineyards undoubtedly provide a tender piece of meat at the local butcher.
