Fonterenza Toscana Rosso Alberello 750ml
| Vintage: | 2020 |
|---|---|
| Description: | 100% Sangiovese Grosso. 2015 was the first vintage in which Fonterenza singled out this parcel from its original Rosso di Montalcino bottling. Since having grafted new Sangiovese vines in this particular plot in 2005 and trained them in an alberello style on wires, the Padovani sisters have felt that it is a unique expression of Sangiovese. Like the other Rosso plots, it is farmed organically and harvested by hand, with much lower yields and greater concentration due to the alberello training. The fruit is destemmed and fermented with native yeasts in steel tank with a 15-20-day maceration. The Alberello gets less barrel age than the regular Rosso: the aging is a total of 20 months, with most of that in steel tank followed by a few months in Slavonian oak botti. Bottled without filtration. |
