The Fèlsina 2017 Fontalloro pours out of the bottle with a bang. This pure expression of Sangiovese is luscious and dark with thick layers of dark fruit plum cherry leather and tilled earth. This hot-vintage edition shows good depth and intensity with lots of that black-fruit energy and extra concentration that is typical of this growing season. However you can always count on Fontalloro to show balance and that's exactly what you get here despite the adversity of the scorching summer season. That Sangiovese acidity remains intact and crisp. Production is 30000 bottles.

I like the clarity and linear quality to this with ripe-cherry and bark flavors. It’s full-bodied though not heavy and ponderous. Racy and bright at the end. Drink or hold.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
The flavors of cherry strawberry and rose are pure with a backbone of acidity and dense tannins for support. Iron and wild herb accents add depth as this red lingers showing smoke and spice notes. Features a sense of urgency driven by vivid acidity. The finish evokes energy. Best from 2022 through 2038.
