60.00 €

Felsina Fontalloro IGT 2009

Varietal
100% Sangiovese, Fontalloro is the most representative expression of F�lsina�s Sangiovese, since the grapes are grown in vineyards straddling the borders between the Chianti Classico and Chianti Colli Senesi appellations.

Vineyard profile
100% Sangiovese, Fontalloro is a complete expression of F�lsina�s Sangiovese: the grapes come from vineyards straddling the borders between the Chianti Classico and Chianti Colli Senesi appellations. The vineyards found within the Chianti Classico appellation are in the elevated area of F�lsina and those of the Chianti Colli Senesi in the lowlands (330-407 meters above sea level). With a southwestern exposure, the grapes are influenced by diverse soil compositions: on the Chianti Classico side the soil is stony and calcareous; on the Crete Senesi side the soil is sandy, loamy and silty with pebbles and marine sediments.
First vintage 1983.

Characteristics
Ruby red color with rich and intense tones. Variety of aromatic herbs accentuated with generous notes of tobacco and wet earth (dry earth, as well), black currant and licorice. The palate manifests good consistency of medium-smooth tannins to ensure the lengthy ageing. Good weight and structure, with a classic finish. Optimum cellar life for the great vintages.

Vinification
Destemming and pressing of select grapes. Fermentation temperature 28-30�c. Maceration 16-20 days. Racking and pumping scheduled daily. Devatting after the maceration period. Malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Transfer to first or second use, 225-liter oak barrels in March-April for 18-22 months. Blended in steel tanks, then bottle-aged 8-12 months.

When we talk about successful aging in wines, Fontalloro - Felsina is certainly a fitting example. The Fontalloro F�lsina 2009 vintage, tasted last night, was a real satisfaction, not surprisingly it received high level reviews from some the field major experts such as Wine Advocate and James Suckling (93/100 for both). A pure Sangiovese that shows itself with a red that is as dark as it is intense, as are the notes of licorice, wood and vanilla on both the aromatic and tasting sides combining with aromas of berries and a slight acidic hint, underlining the still remaining longevity of the wine. The tannin is well present, but dosed to the right point, for a balanced structure that does not weigh it down excessively.
