Description

Fontalloro is the most representative expression of Fรจlsinaโ€™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 Fรจlsina 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.

97 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, November 2018.

94 Points - Wine Spectator, October 2018.

92 Points - Cellar Tracker

91 Points - Gilbert & Gaillard, January 2018. "Deep garnet with bricking. Appealing nose combining dried fruits, mocha, sweet spices and exotic wood. Lively, svelte, robust palate with generous, sun-kissed expression, still slightly firm. Great craftsmanship. Akin to a walk under the Tuscan sun."

18/20 Points - Vinum Wine Magazine, "Very pleasant nose with notes of red berries, herbs and flowers; elegant structure with delicate tannins and crisp acidity, mineral-salty aromas in the finish combined with plenty of fruit and character. Excellent Sangiovese from Castelnuovo Berardenga."
