A benchmark of Tuscan winemaking since 1966 and a consistent recipient of "Tre Bicchieri" accolades, the historic Felsina estate presents its acclaimed Fontalloro 2021. This excellent vintage showcases vibrancy with captivating aromas of ripe cherry, plum, and hints of leather and spice. The palate is elegant yet powerful, boasting silky tannins, bright acidity, and complex layers of red and dark fruit, leading to a long, savory finish. A testament to Felsina's dedication and the quality of the 2021 vintage, Fontalloro pairs beautifully with roasted meats, game, and aged Tuscan cheeses.

Critic Reviews
Wine Advocate

95+ Points, Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate: "The Fèlsina 2021 Fontalloro reveals an elegant bouquet with a streamlined character that delivers good intensity but never goes overboard. In fact, this vintage might be a little thinner than I remember past vintages being. But Sangiovese wears this slender style well and delivers lots of wild cherry and forest berry nuances along the way. You also get soft mineral tones and earthy iris root. This bottle should develop nicely with aging time in the cellar..." 07/24

96 Points, Kerin O'Keefe: "Alluring aromas of dark exotic spice, black-skinned berry, violet and juniper waft out of the glass on the gorgeous 2021 Fontalloro. Elegant and structured, the chiseled palate is incredibly focused, delivering ripe Morello cherry, cassis, star anise and cake spice alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it beautifully balanced and energized. While it’s tempting now, this is still in its infancy..." 9/24

94 Points, Antonio Galloni, VINOUS: "The 2021 Fontalloro is terrific. This is classic Fontalloro, a wine that offers notable density along with the wilder personality of Sangiovese—partly from the Colli Senesi. As such, it is a somewhat rustic wine, but it’s one that will be a fine accompaniment at the dinner table. Leather, incense, tobacco and scorched earth complement a wine that shows the darker, wilder side of the variety. Pretty floral top notes appear with aeration..." 06/24
Wine Enthusiast
95 Points
95 Points, Wine Enthusiast: "Aromas of pomegranate syrup, fig, gun metal and bergamot create a nose that’s profound without sacrificing deliciousness. The palate is defined by a tension between dark, rich fruit and lively, warm citrus, while substantial, chewy tannins and lively acid fortify a tangy, anchoring earthiness..." 12/24
