2016 Felsina Fontalloro

 Delicious. Early peak? Easily cellar-able another ten years..the best vintage of Fontalloro I've had (my experience only goes back to 2004 vintage). Incredible fruit supported by still forward but structurally elegant tannins. I enjoy the relaxed stance of Fontalloro compared to the more structured Rancia. But appreciate them equally in terms of understanding Felsina Sangiovese offerings. 

Paired with cheese + Serrano pepper biscuits (buttered,  one of them clesrly drenched) and grapes.
