Here is the summary profile:
Organoleptic Profile
-
Color: Intense and brilliant ruby red.
-
Nose: Complex and elegant. Opens with notes of morello cherry and berries, followed by a refined tertiary bouquet: leather, tobacco, underbrush and a light spicy and mineral note.
-
Taste: In the mouth it is a wine of great backbone. The structure is imposing but supported by a savory freshness typical of Castelnuovo Berardenga’s borderline soils. The tannins are noble and well integrated, with a lingering finish reminiscent of licorice and coffee powder.
Technical Characteristics
-
Varietal: 100% Sangiovese.
-
Vineyards: The grapes come from vineyards located within both the Chianti Classico and Chianti Colli Senesi areas, which is why it is classified as an IGT.
-
Aging: Matures for about 18-22 months in French oak barrels (new and second-passage) and for at least 8-12 months in bottle.
-
Year 2020: A balanced vintage that yielded wines of excellent phenolic concentration and a very clean and defined aromatic component.
In summary
Fontalloro 2020 is a thoroughbred Sangiovese with great character. It does not seek easy softness, but rewards those who love tension and complexity. It is a wine capable of evolving in the cellar for decades, gaining in elegance and nuance.
Ideal pairing: Roasted or stewed red meats, game birds (such as venison), aged cheeses or truffle dishes.
