Banfi Chianti
The name means “fountain in the forest” and refers to the gurgling stream and towering trees said to have been created by the Etruscan gods to give life to the once dry and barren land.
Fonte alla Selva is an excellent expression of Chianti Classico, whose round body and character perfectly reflect the Banfi quality standard.

Reviews
A composed, balanced, flavorful and lively gran selezione with aromas of red berries, spiced cherries, dried herbs, bark and some dried mushrooms. It’s full-bodied with fine tannins. Balanced and well driven, with plenty of texture on the mid-palate. Attractive and well built, with a long, focused and flavorful finish. Try from 2025.
A firm, silky red with lots of structure and intensity. It’s full-bodied and tannic, yet the phenolics are polished and well defined. Pretty freshness, despite the hot growing season. Drink or hold.
Dried cherries, wild strawberries, fresh citrus and orange rind. Full body, polished tannins and a succulent, fresh finish. Drink now.
Alluring aromas of dark berry, saddle leather, truffle and tilled soil meld together with dark spice. The bright medium-bodied palate shows cranberry, sour cherry and star anise framed in polished tannins. Vibrant acidity lends verve. Drink through 2024.
