Fanti Brunello di Montalcino Vallocchio 2015
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, ItalyThe Tenuta Fanti estate has belonged to the Fanti family since the beginning of the eighteenth century. It extends across 300 hectares, 52ha of which certified sustainable vineyards. This comes from four south-east facing plots of 20-30-year-old vines (Vigna Bellavista, Vigna Sassone, Vigna Casabandi, and Vigna Macchiarelle Nuova) in the heart of the Fanti estate, historically known as Vallocchio. After a ferment in stainless, this aged 30 months in wood, 50% in 500L tonneaux, and the rest in big oak barrels of 30hl. When bottled, this remains an extra year before release. From the generous 2015 vintage, this is packed with black cherry, cassis, tobacco, thorns, threaded with stony, savoury notes. Tannins are ample but well integrated into the depth of fruit, structuring this through a lengthy, saline, spiced finish. Impressive now, and will remain so in your cellar for quite some time.Tasted: 18 October 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $83.95 | 750ml | private wine shops |
