Felsina Sangiovese Fontalloro 2013
Fontalloro is the wine that best conveys the unique characteristics of a border zone, the swath which runs through Fèlsina and makes it so distinctive. One of the source vineyards is located, in fact, within Chianti Classico, the venerable Fontalloro vineyard, planted in the higher section of Fèlsina.

Colour

A rich, brilliant ruby red.

Bouquet

Good spice on the nose, with generous notes of tobacco and wet earth (and of dry earth as well).

Flavour

The palate is supported by a hefty charge of medium-smooth tannins to ensure the required lengthy ageing. Superb weight and structure, with a classic finish. Significant cellarability in great vintages.

Meat
Game

From this winery:

Fèlsina. A name of Etruscan times. A feeling that infuses the air, in harmony with the quality of the light, the earth’s scent and the fragrance of the breezes, the changing of the seasons and silence of the night. Before the eye that ranges unencumb...
