Chianti Classico: Giovanni Manetti on the New Communal Appellations

Giovanni Manetti, owner of the renowned Fontodi winery in Panzano, is also president of the local Consorzio Chianti Classico, the winegrowers' association representing the interests of all the 600-plus winegrowers in the hills between Florence and Siena. Having just begun his second term in office, Manetti took up his presidency with an ambitious programme: driving forward new communal appellations that will show the municipality of origin on the Chianti Classico label. Falstaff spoke to Manetti about these developments.
