Fontalpino Chianti Classico Dofana 2016 ØKO Magnum

WinesCritic.com

Gentle and harmonious, it shows a complex sensory profile that recalls lavender flowers, hawthorn, lime and cedar pieces. In the background the secondary profile is dusty and recalls gunpowder and juniper berries. Full body, slightly rigid and biting tannins that inflame the mid-palate and a crispy finish that surprises with juiciness and grace. The mineral finish gives vivacity and vivacity. From a vineyard located 300 meters above sea level rich in clay, sand and silt. Better from 2022.

Fra Chianti Classicos sydligste subzone Castelnuovo Berardenga, kommer druerne i denne Dofana, der i topåret 2016 leverer en meget flot udgave. Syrlige røde frugter, trøfler, harpiks og tørede krydderurter. Den har kraftige og velintegrerede taninner med en let bitterhed i, samt en spændstig syre der er med til at give vinen en rank struktur. Vil udvikle sig positivt over de næste mange år.

Gorgeous aromas of black cherries, rose petals and fresh flowers follow through to a medium-bodied palate with integrated tannins and a fresh, clean finish. Hints of hazelnuts and walnuts at the end. From organically grown grapes. A very pretty Chianti Classico for drinking now.

Dofana 2016 fra Fattoria Carpineta Fontalpino er også 100 pct. sangiovese. Her er større fedme og mere indtryk at fadlagring. Fin duft af kirsebær og balanceret bid af garvesyre til sidst. Flot harmoni.

The 2016 Chianti Classico Dofana is, to my mind, the most complete of the three Chianti Classico expressions by Fattoria Carpineta Fontalpino from this classic vintage. This is a dark and exuberant wine (made from 100% Sangiovese) with the elegance you get in the Fontalpino and the power or fruity ripeness you get in the Montaperto. This is the full package. The wine starts with bold cherry aromas and moves forward with rose hip, tobacco and campfire ash. Some 3,000 bottles were made.
