The story behind Fontella
Chianti is the everyday red of Tuscany, built on Sangiovese and known for bright cherry fruit, a dusty earth note and a firm, savory finish. It is not a heavy wine. It is a table wine in the best sense, made to sit next to tomato sauce, roasted meat and hard cheese.
We stock Fontella Chianti in Commack in the 750mL bottle and the 1.5L, a straightforward example of the style at a price that keeps it in the weekly rotation.

Which Fontella is right for you?
Fontella Chianti comes in at $9.99 for the 750mL and $13.99 for the 1.5L, which is honest everyday drinking money. The large format works out to the better value per glass, so it earns a spot on the table when you are feeding a group. Both are listed here at those prices.
One bottle, one pot of sauce, no second thoughts.
Enough to keep refilling glasses through a long family dinner.
