Felsina Fontalloro IGT 2019 Size::1 Bottle Merlot is the most planted95 POINTS Jeb Dunnuck "Composed entirely of Sangiovese, the 2019 Fontalloro is a compelling wine, with layers of graphite, leather, cherry licorice, and Mediterranean herbs. Medium to full bodied, it has a weightless feel, although it is not lacking for concentration and ripe tannins. This continues to improve and evolve as it opens, so if opening now, it would be worth decanting." Ruby red color with rich and intense tones. Variety of aromatic herbs
