" Fontalloro 2010 is a 100% Sangiovese. It immediately displays a stunning personality of ripe cherry and forest fruits. The complexity of the bouquet gradually builds to include mineral, herbal, anisette and dark clay notes. The chiseled mineral nuances in the background are sublime." (Wine Advocate 2013 - Robert Parker)
