Castello di Fonterutoli Chianti Classico 2018
Tuscany, ItalyThis sangiovese (tipped with 5% each of colorino and malvasia) comes from Castellina in Chianti, in the lower western part of the Chianti Classico appellation. The vines are rooted in albarese clay/loam soils, at 300-550m. After fermentation in stainless, this rested one year in French oak (225 and 500L0, 40% new. Fragrant black cherries, dark raspberries leap from the glass and follow on the medium+ palate, wrapped with ample, soft, well-integrated tannins. There's a fine, smoked / dusty minerality woven throughout this wine, lingering and luring on the finish. Quite polished and drinking very well now, but certainly with time ahead.Tasted: 08 April 2021Tasted by: Prices:| AB | $33.95 | 750ml | select private retailers |
