Felsina Sangiovese Fontalloro 2019
Fontalloro is the most representative expression of Fèlsina’s Sangiovese. The grapes come from vineyards straddling the border between Chianti Classico and the Chianti Colli Senesi appellation. This is not only a geographical boundary but also a change in the landscape and the soil. A place where woods and vineyards meet with corn fields.

Colour

Deep ruby red.

Bouquet

Variety of aromatic herbs accentuated with generous notes of tobacco and wet earth (dry earth, as well), black currant and liquorice.

Flavour

Good consistent tannic structure, slightly soft. The aftertaste is consistent, structured and full-bodied, with great longevity in the best vintages.

Pairing

Meat
Game
Cheese
