Wine Spectator

Wine Enthusiast

Aromas of pomegranate syrup, fig, gun metal and bergamot create a nose that's profound without sacrificing deliciousness. The palate is defined by a tension between dark, rich fruit and lively, warm citrus, while substantial, chewy tannins and lively acid fortify a tangy, anchoring earthiness.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Made with a special selection of Sangiovese, the 2020 Fontalloro is generous and rich, and the wine sports medium-dark color and concentration. The winemaking team has succeeded in bringing out an especially elegant side to this vintage. The wine offers pronounced notes of cherry and wild plum with delicate spice at the back. Like the other wines in this portfolio, there is a pretty mineral note that makes for a consistent through-line in all these new releases.

Falstaff

Bright ruby red with delicately brightening rim. On the nose initially of fresh yeast pastry, then of juicy cherries, watermelon and redcurrants, minimal alcoholic echo, fine oak. Tight tannin and nice acidity on the palate, savoury, then becomes a bit loose-knit on the back end, albeit juicy.
