Fattoria di Fèlsina is a historic estate in the Chianti appellation, run by the Poggiali family. Established in the Castelnuovo Berardenga commune of Siena, Fattoria Fèlsina produces wines in a powerful style typical of the southern section of Chianti, where the wines are stylistically more akin to those from Montalcino. Fontalloro, which has been produced since 1983, is the winery’s most representative expression of Sangiovese.
This wine displays a deep purple hue, with aromas of black fruits, tar, liquorice, and leather. The palate reveals black cherries, tobacco, and cooking herbs, accompanied by earthy undertones. Its full body and marked acidity contribute to its impressive length, with smooth tannins that leave a refreshing aftertaste.

Vinous
Deep, solid ruby-garnet. Powerful in aroma, with notes of tobacco, tar, damp earth and vanilla. Full, intense flavors are nonetheless tightly wound and in need of bottle aging. Powerful tannins upholster the palate. Dense and concentrated on the finish.
