Fattoria di Felsina Berardenga Fontalloro Toscana IGT 2008

The 2007 Chianti Classico is a sweet, super-ripe wine with an enticing core of fruit. The heat of the vintage has filled out the wine nicely. Although the acidity is still relatively high, this doesn't look to be an especially long-lived wine. That should hardly matter, though, as readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off this gem. In 2007 the Chianti Classico is a selection of fruit from eleven different vineyards harvested between the end of September and early October. The wine was mostly aged in cask, with about 10% seeing smaller neutral French oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2015. Shows complex aromas of blackberry, flowers and hints of sandalwood. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a round, chewy finish. Falls a little short now. Needs time to open. Best after 2009. 16,600 cases made. -JS ** Only 1 in Stock **

Der Chianti Annata zeichnet sich durch einen fruchtigen Geschmack, grosse Sauberkeit und Sortentypizität aus: eine meisterliche Komposition von Zwetschgen, Brombeeren, Cassis, Veilchen und Vanille.

The Berardenga district is located just southeast of the Chianti Classico area. This is 100% Sangiovese made from 35 year old vines. Full of fresh dark, dusty-berried fruits on the palate. There's a nice freshness wrapped up in a classic, solid, medium-bodied red wine.

Delicious Chianti Classico from one of Tuscany's top estates. Packed with ripe red berry fruit and displaying Felsina's typical finesse, this is a truly memorable bottle.

Dieser Wein begeistert mit ihrem fruchtigen, würzigen Bouquet, grosser Sauberkeit und perfekter Vinifikation. Kompakt, ausgewogen im Gaumen und bereits erstaunlich zugänglich. Ein Bilderbuch-Chianti mit schöner Komplexität, feinen Tanninen und mittellangem Abgang. Ein Wein mit hervorragendem Preis-Genuss-Verhältnis!

"The 2005 Fontalloro is the product of a much less fortuitous vintage characterized by capricious weather. The floral red fruit verges on over ripeness and early hints of worn-in leather
