Le Fonti
Panzano in Chianti
Tuscany, Italy
Halfway between Florence and Siena, in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, lies the small village of Panzano. Just below the village church, at 450 m above sea level is the Fattoria Le Fonti. It extends over 15 hectares (37 acres); 8.5 hectares (21 acres) are vineyards and the rest olive groves. Compared to other vineyards in the area, Le Fonti is a small boutique style farm producing about 40,000 bottles or 3300 cases a year. Since 1994 Le Fonti is in the hands of the Schmitt-Vitali family.
We enjoyed this boutique styled winery, shipping several cases back home to cellar! We loved getting to know the Schmitt-Vitali family. Their hospitality was spectacular, and their wine even better! Most of all we enjoyed the beautiful architecture and landscape of this beautiful vineyard.
Lots of Love,
Nicole & Anthony
