Fèlsina is a respected Chianti Classico estate that makes Fontalloro as a pure Sangiovese grown outside the Chianti rules — so it can't carry that famous label, but many consider it their best wine. It's richer and more serious than their everyday bottles, and 2009 was a warm, generous vintage in Tuscany.
