Fontalloro is the most representative expression of Fèlsina’s Sangiovese.

Fontalloro grapes come from vineyards straddling the border between Chianti Classico and the Chianti Colli Senesi denomination. The vineyards lying within the Chianti Classico appellation are in the highest area of Fèlsina while those in the Chianti Colli Senesi are lower down (407-330 meters above sea level). With a southwestern exposure, the grapes are influenced by diverse soil compositions: on the Chianti Classico side the soil is stony and calcareous; on the Crete Senesi side the soil is sandy, loamy and silty with pebbles and marine sediments. First vintage 1983.

Grape Varietal:

100% Sangiovese

Tasting Notes:

Ruby red color with rich and intense tones. Variety of aromatic herbs accentuated with generous notes of tobacco and wet earth (dry earth, as well), black currant and licorice. The palate manifests good consistency of medium-smooth tannins to ensure the lengthy ageing. Rich structure and weight and elegant breed on the finish. Optimum cellar life in all vintages.

95 Points - Wine Enthusiast, January 2014. "Made entirely from Sangiovese, it opens with fragrances that recall spicy black berries and Mediterranean herbs. The velvety palate delivers power and finesse along with fleshy black cherry, licorice and a graphite note."

94 Points - Falstaff, April 2016. "A medium-bodied Tuscan red with a slight ripe edge. The nose has a stylish Chianti bouquet of balsamic notes, cedar, tobacco, vanilla and black fruit. The attack is soft and well-supported by silky tannin and fresh acidity. It's delicate and leads to a long finish -elegant, and at the same time powerful. Increasingly complex with air."
