Sleek yet intense, the 2021 Fontalloro from Fattoria di Fèlsina layers ripe black cherry and cassis with hints of spice, tobacco and dried flowers, all framed by taut, fine-grained tannins. Lively acidity keeps the dark fruit vibrant and focused, giving this pure Sangiovese a poised, energetic profile that promises even greater complexity with time in bottle.

Fontalloro is Fattoria di Fèlsina’s flagship pure Sangiovese, a historic “Super Tuscan” first produced in 1983 from vineyards straddling the border between Chianti Classico and Chianti Colli Senesi. The wine marries high-altitude, stony, calcareous sites with the sandy, loamy, marine-influenced soils of the Crete Senesi to give a powerful yet finely etched expression of Sangiovese, typically showing dark cherry and currant fruit layered with tobacco, licorice, earthy spice, and a firmly structured, ageworthy palate.
