Fontalpino Chianti Classico 2022 ØKO Magnum

Best Italian Wines Annuario

James Suckling

A juicy, well-composed and attractive red with notes of cherries, warm herbs, baking spices and dried flowers. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins. Refined texture with precision and poise. Vivid and succulent.

Tony Wood Italian Wine

Medium ruby red in colour. Beguiling aromatic profile showing old English red rose petals, candied cherry and floral underbrush. Bing cherry, blackcurrant, loganberry, dark plum, black tea and clove overtones. Warm and silky upon entry, primary flavours abound. Tremendous textural resonance. Tons of energy. Fresh and fruity on the finish. Ready to go.

Flaskehalsen

Den stramme og stringente Sangiovese-drue er uadskillelig fra Chianti-området i Toscana. Og her har den fået 12 måneder på fransk eg, inden den har fået lov at hvile sig til det endelige udtryk: En dejlig Chianti med en fyldig og behagelig stil, der ikke lægger skjul på den markante syre, men som pakker den nydeligt ind i behagelige, mørke frugter. Det smager rigtig dejligt, og så er det endda til at købe til en rigtig fin og attraktiv pris.

Precise and essential, it gives notes of black cherries, wild strawberries, camphor and orange juice. Full body, ripe and well-polymerized tannins and a sweet and round finish that gives immediate pleasure. It is powerful and smooth and gives itself to the full immediately.

Vinonyme

Det solbagte toscansk landskab på flaske – mørk frugt, lakrids og tobak svøbt i varm vanilje og krydderurter. Her møder du en Sangiovese med rygrad og temperament: tannisk, urtet og præget af syre, der strammer grebet og trækker eftersmagen ud. Den er ikke poleret, men rank og vild – en vin der kræver modspil og trives i selskab med tomat, kød og kraft.

Falstaff

Medium ruby red with brightening on the rim. A delicate bouquet with notes of sour cherry, violet and bitter almond, then a hint of cold smoke. Plenty of sweet fruit on the palate, crisp acidity, flows beautifully, a slight bitter note on the finish.

GardiniNotes.com

Fontalpino, a remarkable company, in organic management, arrives at full completion with this 100% Sangiovese aged in tonneau. Nose with notes of cherry, hints of white pepper, then laurel and touches of rhubarb. The mouthfeel is brackish with hints of red fruit and spicy nuances

DoctorWine

We are in the southern part of Castelnuovo Berardenga and here the Chianti Classicos are soft, full-bodied, enveloping but not heavy. Very Sienese | 100% Sangiovese. Tonneau for 12 months. Very intense and lively ruby. Enveloping fruity, ethereal, spicy, with notes of blackberry, dark cherry and light vanilla. Full, warm flavour, with dense tannins supporting a good weight body.

James Suckling

Very pretty Chianti Classico with orange blossom, cherry and mineral aromas that follow through to a medium to full body with firm tannins and a fresh finish.
Linear and energetic. From organically grown grapes.

Rolf Madsen, Vinexpressen

Det er længe siden, jeg har fået en så lækker chianti classico. Strutter af solmodne kirsebær, lidt lakrids og propolis. Indtagende og rustik chianti, der er struktureret i munden med flot koncentration, tørret frugt og en fin blød garvesyrefinish. Et vanvittigt godt køb. Høj genkøbsfaktor. 93 Spottet hos Supervin til ca. 160 kr. "

Mad og Monopolet

Man kan næsten høre italiensk musik i baggrunden, når en flaske som denne skænkes - det er nemlig Sangiovese all the way. Den skønne drue, som i sin rette form indkapsler italiensk vin. Skøn duft af hindbær, ribs, tranebær, lyse blommer og et skønt hint af vanilje. I munden har den en skøn friskhed over sig, som Sangiovese ofte kan have, og som liver vinen op og giver den masser af energi sammen med skønne tanniner og en lækker delikat frugtsødme.

The organic 2021 Chianti Classico Fontalpino is 100% Sangiovese that starts off in neutral cement and stainless steel and finishes in tonneaux for 12 months of aging. Fruit is sourced from across three sites, totaling 20 hectares of vines, with sandy and loamy limestone-based soils in warm Castelnuovo Berardenga. This is a terrific value bottle with dark cherry and fruit that is amply framed by earthy sensations and a hint of toasted nut. This release of 40,000 bottles will hit the market in winter 2023.

Jeb Dunnuck

Coming from the southeastern region of Castelnuova Berrardenga and pouring a nearly opaque red hue, the 2021 Chianti Classico Fontalpino is lush and inviting with a saturated perfume of black cherry liqueur, sunny Mediterranean herbs, mossy earth, and mocha. Full-bodied with ripe, silky tannins, it retains good freshness while retaining a rounded profile and has a savory finish with notes of tea leaf. It’s a very attractive and ripe wine with lots of complexity and depth that’s going to do well over the coming 8-10 years.

Michael Godel

Indelibly stamped Carpineta style while so very fresh for 2021, truly bright of great breaths of Castelnuovo Berardenga air. Aged in tonneaux after cement fermentation and to say this was judged with fine precision would be paying close attention to Gioia Cresti’s acumen and always consistent deft touch. Spot on for 2021 in so many respects. Last tasted October 2023.

Flaskehalsen

Her har vi en Chianti Classico, der rammer et rigtig godt sted for os, der elsker Sangiovese-druens robuste, tørre stil – men som gerne vil have den ledsaget af noget, der gør det hele lidt mere smooth og blidt. For det er lige præcis, hvad Fontalpino kan med denne vin, der kommer fra den sydligste del af Chianti Classico, hvor vinene har ry for at være dybe og robuste. Det kommer hurtigt til udtryk i denne vin, der har en insisterende balance mellem det tørre Sangiovese-præg og det mere frugtige og saftige. Selvom det smager lidt som Sangiovese med et skvæt af en anden druesort, så er det rendyrket Sangiovese, der bare har lidt mere bund og muskler.

Wine Spectator

A pretty red, evoking rose, cherry, strawberry and subtle herb aromas and flavors. Though elegant, this is firmly structured, with a hint of black pepper on the finish.

WinesCritic.com

The nose is frank and reminiscent of yellow fruit such as pineapple, late mandarin and cantaloupe melon. In the secondary profile, yellow flowers like broom, but also daisies. On the palate, medium body, soft tannins and an essential, pleasantly drinkable finish.

Falstaff

Dark ruby with garnet reflections. Delicate aromas of red fruits and violets on the nose. Juicy and fresh on the palate, with well-integrated and soft tannins.

Intravino

Peach and apricot, strawberries, plums, nice tannin
