Fonterenza 2019 Toscana Alberello Italian Red Wine

Fonterenza Alberello Sangiovese 2019 | Tuscany Red Wine

Discover the essence of Tuscany with Fonterenza’s Alberello Sangiovese 2019—a masterpiece of Italian winemaking craftsmanship. Hailing from Montalcino’s renowned vineyards, this wine embodies the rich terroir of Tuscany’s rolling hills, where precision meets tradition to craft a bold yet refined expression of Sangiovese grapes.

Crafted with Care
Planted in 2005 on a gently sloped, east-northeast-facing parcel of Fonterenza’s Montalcino estate, these sustainably cultivated vines thrive in quartz-rich galestro soils under biodynamic farming practices. Trained in the alberello method—a technique that fosters smaller yields of intensely concentrated fruit—each cluster is hand-harvested at peak ripeness before undergoing meticulous destemming and gentle pressing.

A Commitment to Quality
Fermented spontaneously in tank with extended maceration (20 days), this wine captures the vibrant essence of Montalcino’s terroir. Aged for 24–36 months in a blend of Slavonian oak botti and cement tanks, it achieves a harmonious balance of structure and elegance—unfiltered and未经修饰，保留其天然的复杂性。

Distinctive Identity
As the first vintage classified under IGT rather than Rosso di Montalcino, Alberello stands apart as Fonterenza’s signature expression of artisanal winemaking. Its deep ruby hues and velvety tannins invite you to explore layers of ripe cherry, spice, and earthy undertones—a perfect pairing for hearty Tuscan dishes or moments of quiet reflection.

Experience Authenticity
With 14% alcohol content and a focus on minimal intervention, this wine offers a purist’s take on Tuscany’s winemaking heritage. Elevate your cellar with Fonterenza’s Alberello Sangiovese—a testament to tradition, innovation, and the timeless allure of Italian red wines.
