Huge identity
Supertuscan from Castelnuovo Berardenga made with only sangiovese
Earthy, irony, floral
Depth and softness
At peak I'd say
2006 is a spectacular vintage a bit everywhere in Italy

This is great straight from the bottle. Dark cherry, fennel, brown sugar and chocolate in the body. Soft tannin.

Trying my "portable" lightsaber which will make it possible for me to continue to be a Jedi even when I travel. Also, tasting a wonderful 100% Sangiovese "supertuscan" - 2006 Felsina Fontalloro which shows the glory of this beautiful variety. An enticing nose with roasted coffee and sauteed herb notes which take my breath away. The palate is fleshy enough to give satisfaction but holds back making you want to drink more...all the while having a pure black cherry flavor roll around in one's head. Those "tease" wines always get me.

Terrific wine. Sweet cherry fruit, damp earth, dusty tannins are present. Very long finish.

Quite dark with no sign of bricking. The aroma is powerful with dark fruit, some notes of oak/wood, coffee, herbs and some meaty notes. Definitely full bodied. Tannins are still present but are nicely integrated. Supported by good acidity but finishes a bit hot for my taste.
