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.

Description
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.

Tasting Notes:
- Falstaff
95 Points - Wine Enthusiast, December 2024. The nose has classic, delicate aromas of cherries, wild strawberry, blood orange, top soil and sage. On the palate, darker berries and more cherries contrast with a deeply earthy, bitter bite of citrus pith, while lithe acid flows past unifying tannins that are precise, but with a chalky toothiness.
94 Points - Falstaff, March 2025."Fine shimmering ruby red. Fresh nose of crisp blueberries and sweet cherries, with oak notes and hints of lilac. Clear and firm on the palate with tightly woven tannins, unfortunately a little brittle on the finish."
91 Points - Cellar Tracker
93 Points - Wine Spectator, October 2013.
