A wine designed to celebrate important moments, capable of uniting elegance, aromatic depth, and structural solidity in a scenographic and collectible guise.

Territory and wine style

The production of Fontalloro comes from vineyards located between Chianti Classico and Chianti Colli Senesi, in an area that benefits from altitudes ranging from 330 to 407 meters above sea level and predominantly south-western exposures. This territorial combination helps define an intense and vertical style, supported by a clear varietal identity. The grapes come from selected estates and the wine is made from 100% Sangiovese, with careful vinification and a long maturation in French oak barriques that enrich its complexity without altering its character.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a ruby red of good intensity. The olfactory profile is complex and deep, with hints of tobacco, wet earth, soil dust, blackcurrant, blackberry, and licorice. On the palate, it shows structure, good consistency, and a tannic texture that is present but moderately soft, well integrated into the whole. The typical freshness of Sangiovese supports the sip and accompanies a long, savory, and coherent finish, with a closing of great class and evolutionary potential.

Recommended pairings

This Tuscan wine shines with rich and flavorful dishes, such as braised meats, important roasts, Florentine steak, game, and aged cheeses. Its structure also makes it suitable for traditional land cuisine preparations, where protein and succulence find balance in the freshness and tannic profile of the wine. The 6-liter format makes it ideal for convivial dinners, celebrations, and prestigious gifting.
