Felsina Fontalloro 1987

The 1987 Fèlsina Fontalloro captures a pivotal moment in Tuscan winemaking, when tradition met the emerging Super Tuscan movement. Made entirely from Sangiovese but sourced from vineyards straddling Chianti Classico and Colli Senesi, it was labeled IGT — a quiet rebellion against rigid DOCG rules. In 1987, Fèlsina was refining its vision: structured, age-worthy wines rooted in place, with minimal oak influence. Decades later, this vintage speaks less through fruit and more through evolved notes of earth, leather, and dried herbs — a graceful expression of Sangiovese’s depth and the estate’s early conviction.
