Felsina Fontalloro Tuscany IGT 2015

This is Fèlsina’s original SuperTuscan, first made in 1983 from 100% Sangiovese. At the time, the wine was labelled as Vino da Tavola since there was no approved higher denomination for a monovarietal wine. The border that defines Chianti Classico and Colli Senesi runs through the Fèlsina's estate and Fontalloro is sourced from both of these areas. As such, it is labelled IGT.

Renowned for its powerful structure, depth and complexity, Fontalloro has more in common with the wines from nearby Montalcino and rewards patient cellaring. Dark berry fruit, leather, spice

and tobacco develop alomng with earthy notes with time in the bottle. The powerful palate is structured with a hefty charge of medium-smooth tannins.

'Sangiovese is elevated to a level of exceptional finesse and purity in this stunningly beautiful, vivid edition of Fontalloro. In fact, 2015 is one of the few vintages where Fontalloro runs truly neck and neck with Rancia. Pliant, silky and floral, Fontalloro is wonderfully sensual from the very first taste. Sandy soils confer aromatic intensity to this super-expressive, arrestingly beautiful wine from Fèlsina.' 96 Points - Drink 2025 --> 2045 - Antonio Galloni
