Felsina Fontalloro Tuscany IGT 2013

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.

"The 2013 Fontalloro is one of the most dramatic, bold, young Fontalloros I can remember tasting. Today, the 2013 possesses remarkable density and depth, with distinctly dark shades of Sangiovese that come through." 94 Points - Drink 2019-2033 - Antoni Galloni

"Gorgeous and soft, the 2013 Fontalloro is another landmark wine from this classic vintage. There is enormous intensity here and the wine is only at the beginning of its long aging trajectory. I suggest you put off drinking it for five to ten more years. There is evident thickness and generosity here, especially in the way those bold fruit favors are woven between dark spice and leather. There are sour accents on the close that remind you of the wine's youth. The tannins are fine and well integrated." (96) Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate
