Fontavera wines are crafted by winemaker Soledad Adriasola Lang. Soledad has strongly voiced her concerns of the impact of climate change and advocated the need to support the future of organic viticulture combined with higher altitude plantings. The wines of Fontavera just north of Tuscany’s mountainous ranges are a direct result of her ambition, to seek out older, organically farmed vineyards grown on higher, cooler sites.

Winemaking: Organic grapes were hand-picked and hand-sorted before whole bunch pressing to old oak.

2019 Vintage: A good follow up to the lauded 2018 vintage in the region. The growing season was regular with no extreme weather events leading to normal picking times and fruit in great quality. Harvest looked healthy and with bigger yields than the previous vintage.

Tasting Note: This is sweet and savoury Sangiovese at its best. Soft, approachable and drinking brilliantly now, it displays varietal traits of dark berries and cherries with nuanced spice. The palate delivers sweet berry fruit with savoury edges, soft tannins and brisk acidity. Perfect on its own or with a
pepperoni pizza.
