Pretty Good Vintage 2014 in Chianti Classico....

I just received an email from Giovanni Manetti from Fontodi who declared himself "very happy with the 2014 vintage, thanks to almost perfect for 30 days in September"... 

I was there to see it & the conditions were truly excellent. Cool nights, dry, warm & brilliantly sunny days... With the good work his team accomplished in the vineyard deleafing & stringent sorting both in the vineyards and in the cellars, I am truly looking forward to taste a preview at VINITALY later in March...
