Bright ruby red lighter at the rim. On the nose hearty and inviting with rich cherry wild berries plus a touch of dark chocolate and earthy tones in the background. On the palate textured and clear spreads juicily and with balanced tannins over the palate shows elegant drive and retur
A fresh and crunchy Fontalloro with currants orange peel and hints of peaches and cedar. Medium body firm and fine tannins and a crisp and bright finish. Lots of energy and verticality to this! Drink after 2025
wcPotent in the sensory profile alternating notes of black prunes blackberries wild myrtle and withered red flowers. Full bodied soft enveloping and creamy in the sip with a graceful tasty closure showing a polyphenolic quality of a select few. Drink now or hold.
The 2019 Fontalloro is all Sangiovese that is aged in new and second-year barriques for up to 20 months. This vintage is represented by a production of 45000 bottles. The wine opens to a medium-dark garnet color with lots of rich fruit and oak spice. The tannins are dry and the wine is slightly thinner that I would have expected especially for a vintage that is identified by extra concentration. With time in the glass Fontalloro relaxes to show more volume and a broader presentation of dark fruit aromas.
