"Tasted blind. Dark ruby with orange tinges. Ripe, yet energetic cherry with malty notes and a touch of leather on the nose. A little wild, with lovely, energetic, red ripe fruit and bags of crunchy tannins." Walter Speller JancisRobinson.com

Fonterenza is an old farmhouse in the small village of Colle in Montalcino, which takes its name from a spring that flows from the hill under the house. It is now owned by twin sisters Margherita and Francesca Padovani, whose family bought the estate in 1975. The sisters are originally from Milan, but spent much of their youth here and fell in love with it.

Vinification: Vines are harvested between the end of September up until 10th October. Fermentation with indigenous yeast followed by a 30 day maceration in cone shaped oak vats. The wine is matured in large 50hl and 20hl oak barrels for up to 60 months prior to bottling. 

Match it with: Wild boar or game based dishes as well as braised beef stew.
