Fontalpino Chianti Classico Vigna Dofana 2017 ØKO

WineAlign

The Dofana stone is sandy, more Arenaria then Macigno, with Alberese and clay. Faces southeast at 350m, planted to new clones of Sangiovese, as opposed to Montaperto. All adds up to a sangiovese cru of musculature, great if slightly austere tannins, fleshier, cherries of deeper maceration and profound tang. All parts are raised, elevated, punchy and there is an intensity that really makes one think and feel. The vineyard was acquired in 2004, now at the point of Gioia Cresti having come to really understand the make-up, to claim the future of the wine, for what is going to happen. The classicism of needing to give sangiovese time is entrenched into Dofana, around which “the corners in this wine are personality,” tells Filippo Cresti. A wine to watch what happens with 12 bottles over the years. Even 30 years. Dofana’s tannins are that tight and compacted, even from arid 2017.

James Suckling

Purity and raciness to this wine with blueberry and raspberry aromas and flavors that give it energy and brightness, which is very enjoyable. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Intravino

Bony and chalky but subtly intriguing, nose and mouth of cherry and orange, very elegant finish

Andreas Larsson, Tasted

Medium to deep ruby red colour. Generous nose offering ripe cherry, plum, wild herbs, discreet oak and toast. Nicely built palate offering both ripe fruit with black cherry notes, a fresh acidity, ripe and refreshing tannin, oak is well integrated and a long pure finish.

Hints of raspberries, red plums and a light touch of salted caramel give immediate pleasure to the intriguing nose. Medium-full body, vibrant tannins that will need time to relax and a harmonious and highly drinkable finish
