Fontalloro 2017 IGT Tuscany MAGNUM Wooden Box Felsina

Fontalloro 2017 Fèlsina Magnum IGT Toscana

Fontalloro 2017 in Magnum format is a great Tuscan red signed by Fèlsina, an authentic expression of pure Sangiovese from a renowned area between Chianti Classico and Chianti Colli Senesi. The wooden box further enhances a bottle designed for important occasions, for the table, and for aging, with an intense, deep profile and great personality.

Territory and wine style

The grapes come from the estates of Poggio al Sole and Arcidossino, in vineyards located between 330 and 407 meters above sea level, with a predominantly southwest exposure. The territory combines rocky, limestone, and clay soils with sandy, silty components rich in small pebbles and marine sediments, creating the ideal conditions for a characterful Tuscan red wine. The designation is IGT Toscana and the style reflects the search for balance between energy, structure, and finesse, with careful vinification and a long aging process in wood and bottle.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color rich in nuances. On the nose, it shows a complex and deep profile, with notes of tobacco, wet earth, dust, blackcurrant, blackberry, and licorice. On the palate, the wine is solid, structured, and enveloping, supported by present but moderately soft tannins, good consistency, and an energetic, long, and persistent finish. Fontalloro 2017 expresses the full personality of Tuscan Sangiovese in an elegant, austere version capable of evolving well over time.

Recommended pairings

This wine pairs effectively with important dishes from Tuscan and Italian cuisine, such as Florentine steak, braised dishes, slow-cooked meats, red meat roasts, wild boar stew, and game birds or fur game. It also goes well with pappardelle with hare ragù, tagliatelle with meat ragù, aged pecorino cheeses, and flavorful cheeses. Its structure and freshness make it suitable for rich and flavorful preparations that can engage with the wine's tannic texture.

Serving temperature

Serve Fontalloro 2017 Fèlsina at a temperature between 16 and 18°C. In particular, the Magnum format can benefit from a slight advance in opening, to promote oxygenation and allow the bouquet to express itself more fully. It is a perfect choice for an important dinner or for a tasting dedicated to great Tuscan reds.
