Felsina Fontalloro 2022

Fèlsina Fontalloro is a prestigious Tuscan red made entirely from Sangiovese, expressing the character of vineyards on the border between Chianti Classico and Colli Senesi. Produced by the Poggiali family since 1966, it is known for its balance of ripe fruit, mineral character and fine, structured tannins.

Tasting Notes
Deep in colour, Fontalloro offers an expressive nose of dark berries, with notes of tobacco and liquorice. The palate is dry and full-bodied, combining concentrated fruit and mineral nuances with fine tannins and a long, precise finish. Its firm structure and considered oak ageing give it the potential to develop over time. With careful cellaring, it can be enjoyed over the next 10–15 years.

Production
The Sangiovese comes from Fèlsina’s vineyards in Castelnuovo Berardenga, at elevations of around 330–407 metres, with south-west-facing rows. The varied soils include stone, sand, silt, clay and marine sediments. Grapes are harvested by hand and selected before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, with 15–20 days of skin maceration. The wine then matures for 18–22 months in French oak barrels, followed by extended bottle ageing.

Food & Serving
Serve with game, braised meats, lamb or mature cheeses. A serving temperature of 16–18°C should allow the wine’s fruit and structure to show at their best. Decant for around an hour before serving, particularly if opening a young bottle.
