It is a reference label for those seeking an important, elegant wine that evolves well over time.

Territory and wine style

The IGT Toscana of Fontalloro enhances a broad and authoritative interpretation of the Sienese territory. The grapes come from parcels located between 330 and 407 meters above sea level, with a mainly southwest exposure and different soils that contribute to the wine's complexity. The rocky, calcareous, and clay components of Chianti Classico are complemented by sands, silt, small pebbles, and marine sediments in the area bordering the Crete Senesi. The result is a red with a serious, deep, and savory profile, supported by a clear territorial imprint.

Tasting notes

The freshness supports the drinkability and contributes to a long, authoritative, and persistent finish, with a sense of class that confirms its profile as a great Tuscan Sangiovese.
