Note: Dino is 100% Sangiovese fermented in amphora and bottled with no added sulphites. Dino was made in honor of Fontodi's founder, Dino Manetti, and this is the fourth year that the wine has seen a commercial release. An experimental version of the wine has been in production since 2008.
The 2018 Dino, Fontodi's 100% Sangiovese done in amphora, is so intriguing. The purity of the Sangiovese fruit is just remarkable, as is the wine's energy. Readers will have to look past a bit of spritziness (that dissipates with air) but there is so much to like in the 2018, starting with its exceptional balance and poise. With a bit of air, the 2018 is a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. I am really intrigued to see how the 2018 ages, as that is one of the biggest question marks for wines made in this style. Bright acids add a good deal of supporting structure that suggest the 2018 has at least another decade of fine drinking ahead of it. Drink 2023-2033
