2017 Fontalpino Chianti Classico, DOCG – J.Suckling 91, Wine Spectator 90

Product Description

50,000 bottles produced from 95% Sangiovese grapes +5% other grapes within the DOCG.

The color is typical of the purity of the Sangiovese, a deep red with traces of violet. An interesting nose of plum, cherry, currant, rose, violet, cinnamon and cocoa. It is well balanced with aromas of flowers and spices evolving on a long and round finish. “A solid Chianti Classico, with lots of raspberries and dried strawberry character. Full and chewy, with firm tannins and a fresh finish.” – James Suckling
