Felsina Fontalloro Tuscany IGT 2013 - First Bottle

Reviews

96 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - Read

Gorgeous and soft, the 2013 Fontalloro is another landmark wine from this classic vintage. There is enormous intensity here and the wine is only at the beginning of its long aging trajectory. I suggest you put off drinking it for five to ten more years. There is evident thickness and generosity here, especially in the way those bold fruit favors are woven between dark spice and leather. There are sour accents on the close that remind you of the wine's youth. The tannins are fine and well integrated.

95 James Suckling - Read

Aromas of plums, clay tiles and sage follow through to a full to medium body, silky tannins and a linear and racy finish. Love the underlying freshness and brightness to this. Excellent. A little tannic now, so better in 2018.

94 Vinous - Read

The 2013 Fontalloro shows the richer, creamier style of the vintage while maintaining plenty of Fèlsina character. Silky tannins wrap around a core of dark stone fruits as the 2013 shows off its personality. Fontalloro naturally doesn’t have the pure energy of Rancia, but it will drink well with just a few more years in bottle. Fontalloro is the most overt and ripe of the Fèlsina wines with the exception of the Colonia. A hint of French oak shapes the supple, inviting finish.

SOLD OUT

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!

Besides the huge scores (96/95/94) and wicked-good price ($299.70 DELIVERED!) this wine is hilariously endorsed by Conan O’Brien and Jordan Schlansky (take a few minutes to watch this side-splitting video filmed at the Felsina tasting room). 96 points indeed -- “I feel like I’m walking in a forest”

Sorry, as old wine guys, we love that video. And we LOVE Felsina -- honestly, who doesn’t? A critic and popular fave for decades, the wines have always been rock-solid --- but in the last decade or so have just hit new heights. Our allocation just hit the warehouse and I must INSIST, BEG, CAJOLE you to grab at least 6 of these...it’s flat-out delicious, hedonistic, harmonious Sangiovese that satisfies on every level. Takes us right back to Tuscany on the first whiff!!

IN STOCK! $49.95! Amazing! While it lasts…!

About the Producer

It was 1966 when Domenico Poggiali Fèlsina took the courageous leap and bought the estate at a time when Italian viticulture was struggling. In the second half of the 1970s Giuseppe Mazzocolin entered the family business paving the way for the beginnings of their international recognition. Their friendship with Luigi Veronelli and collaboration with oenologist Franco Bernabei shaped a developmental strategy that has proven itself extremely coherent, starting with the wines of 1983, the first year of Fontalloro and of Rancia. With Domenico and Giuseppe Poggiali at the helm, an extraordinary development began which, since 1990, also includes Giovanni Poggiali, the oldest of Giuseppe’s three sons.
