Felsina Fontalloro 2018 18L Melchior

Fèlsina Fontalloro 2018 is a prestigious Tuscan red wine and one of Fèlsina's most representative expressions of Sangiovese. The grapes come from vineyards located across the border between Chianti Classico and Chianti Colli Senesi, where varied limestone, clay, sand and marine-derived soils contribute to the wine's complexity and mineral character. The wine combines concentrated fruit with vibrant acidity, refined tannins and pronounced savoury and earthy complexity.
The 2018 vintage presents ripe black cherry and dark berry fruit alongside tobacco, earth, aromatic herbs, spice, liquorice and subtle toasted oak. The exceptional 18L format is particularly suited to grand celebrations, prestigious events, large gatherings, fine dining and collectors seeking an extraordinary large-format Tuscan wine.
