Tasting - Felsina Fontalloro 2008





Name: Felsina Fontalloro Toscana
Variety: Sangiovese
Region: Tuscany
Country: Italy
Year: 2008
Price: $70 (Reduced to $39.95)

Winery Review: 94 points, Robert Parker: This is a wonderfully sophisticated, polished wine from Felsina.  In 2008, the slightly drier microclimate at Fontalloro vis-à-vis Rancia is the main reason this wine is such a huge success in 2008.


My Review: Not particularly a fan of this wine. It had a dark red color with a spicy and fruity nose. On the palette, this wine was quite spicy and bitter with a high tannic content and a dry finish.

I did not have this wine with food.
