2017 Fontodi Case Via Pinot Nero Colli della Toscana Centrale IGT, Tuscany

The 2017 Pinot Nero Case Via is pliant and expressive. Sweet red berry, blood orange, flowers and earthy tones flesh out in the glass. As always, the Fontodi Pinot is first and foremost a wine of Chianti Classico, especially in its acid profile and overall structural feel. The 2017 is a bit wild, but otherwise nicely done.

A pretty pinot with dried-strawberry and raspberry character and hints of smoked wood and meat. Medium to full body and firm, lightly chewy tannins. From organically grown grapes. Needs time to soften. Better after 2021.

The 2017 Pinot Nero Case Via is not exactly representative of the Burgundian grape. From a hot and dry vintage, this wine opens to ripe aromas with cherry skin and dark fruit roll-ups. The bouquet continues with cherry cough drop, natural rubber, soapy lavender and church incense. There is a slightly vegetal touch that recalls olive or Provence herbs in those little burlap sachets. Of these new releases from Fontodi, this Pinot Nero seems to have been hit hardest by the heat and drought of the vintage.
