{"product_id":"felsina-fontalloro-2022","title":"Felsina Fontalloro 2022","description":"\u003ch3\u003eWine type\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFontalloro di Felsina is a \u003cstrong\u003eTuscan red wine\u003c\/strong\u003e made exclusively from \u003cstrong\u003eSangiovese\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes. Belonging to the Toscana denomination, it is distinguished by a complex aromatic profile that combines notes of blackberry, liquorice and damp earth. On the palate, it is dry, full-bodied and structured, characterised by \u003cstrong\u003efine tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and a marked mineral imprint that leads to an elegant and persistent finish. The remarkable ageing potential and perfect organoleptic balance stem from careful vinification in stainless steel and a lengthy maturation in wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes for this wine come from vineyards located in \u003cstrong\u003eCastelnuovo Berardenga\u003c\/strong\u003e, Tuscany, precisely on the border between the historical territories of Chianti Classico and Colli Senesi. The rows, mainly south-west facing, grow on hillside plots that benefit from a microclimate ideal for viticulture. The \u003cstrong\u003evaried soils\u003c\/strong\u003e reflect this dual geographical soul: the northern part features rocky and limestone soils, while the Sienese side is rich in sand, silt, small pebbles and marine sediments. This particular geological composition gives the wine a solid structure and a profound expression of this \u003cstrong\u003eborder terroir\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduction method\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins between late September and early October with a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e carried out in several stages to select only the best bunches. After crushing and de-stemming, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks, accompanied by \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e for fifteen to twenty days with daily punching down and pumping over. The wine is then transferred for maturation into French oak barrels, both new and first or second passage, for a period ranging from eighteen to twenty-two months. At the end of the wood ageing, the \u003cstrong\u003efinal blend\u003c\/strong\u003e is created, followed by a further rest in the bottle for at least eight months before release.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first vintage of \u003cstrong\u003eFontalloro\u003c\/strong\u003e debuted in 1983. It has been produced by Felsina since 1966 by the Poggiali family in Castelnuovo Berardenga. Interestingly, the grapes come from three historic vineyards, Poggio al Sole, Arcidossino and Casalino, located right on the border between Chianti Classico and Colli Senesi. This unique terroir gives the wine excellent longevity in great vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Felsina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47967389614251,"sku":"62720","price":50.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/felsina-fontalloro-2022_62720_1_e7cbc5bb-70d3-4b54-a9e6-750899a0bf10.webp?v=1790964937","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-ch\/products\/felsina-fontalloro-2022","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
