Tenuta Fanti

Filippo Fanti has been producing white wine since the 1980s using Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia Toscana, which are also used for Vin Santo. At the beginning of 2000, Filippo decided to also plant Viognier and Vermentino in order to blend them with the local grape varieties. The composition of the four varieties varies each year depending on the climatic conditions of the vintage. The name Soralisa recalls the name of Filippo's aunt Elisa, whom he adores. Light yellow in colour, clean, tropical fruit aroma, delicately spicy. Yellow peach flavour, juicy, subtle extract sweetness, well structured. A fresh delight! SUPERIORE.DE

Intense, dense ruby red colour. The nose is caressed by fruity notes reminiscent of berries, finishing with coffee flavours, dark chocolate and roasted wood. On the palate, it is perfectly balanced with a wonderfully balanced texture and a convincing final. A fresh and lively Rosso - harmoniously round and also extremely good value for money.

Traditionally vinified, its intense ruby red colour, the fruity aroma with spicy and balsamic notes and its gentle start on the palate, which builds furiously, are impressive. The high-class tannin structure rests between the soft components, so that this Brunello from the dream year 2019 simultaneously demonstrates elegance and strength without appearing too modern.

Fanti's Brunello di Montalcino 2020 is delicately flavoured, haunting floral and seductive from the first swirl of the glass. A hint of icing sugar gives way to bright cherries, candied oranges, mint leaves and lavender, creating an extrovert yet delicious picture. In the mouth, it is seamless and silky, with a subtle hint of citrus and vibrant acids introducing ripe red notes of black berries with herbs. Rounded tannins emerge on the finish with hints of liquorice and violets. As always, very well made. SUPERIORE.DE

Produced in small quantities, Vallocchio clearly stands out from pure Brunello di Montalcino. Darker, deeper and more mystical, it shows notes of ripe blackberries and plums, complemented by exotic brown spices and a hint of lemon confit. Its texture is like velvet stretching across the palate, black-fruited and ripe, underpinned by minerals and cooling herbal notes. It is youthfully monolithic and dense, revealing its austere tannin core only towards the end, where notes of black tea, liquorice and a hint of cocoa emerge. SUPERIORE.DE
