Fontanavecchia

“Noticeably lighter than the late harvest ‘Facetus’, this shows attractive citrus fruit leading toward fleshy stone fruit. As a result of a 20% fermentation and six month maturation in new barrique it shows plenty of power and body. Strong alcohol and good levels of acidity. Some peach and melon on the finish, with restrained oak character. A juicy, succulent expression with good ageing potential.”

“A very floral nose of broom, honeysuckle and blossom meets with powerful notes of vanilla and brioche. The palate shows abundant ripe fruit, particularly banana and apricot. Alcohol is very prominent throughout. This is a big, robust wine.”
