Castello di Fonterutoli "Philip"

Red wine | Toscana IGT

“Philip” is a typically Tuscan wine. It combines the fragrance and elegance of wines produced in the famous Chianti Classico region with the opulence of those from the more recently discovered Maremma region.

The combination of Cabernet Sauvignon from two different estates creates aromatic complexity, depth of color and powerful structure, while giving the wine minerality, elegance and finesse.

Colour

A beautiful deep and opaque dark red, with purplish reflections.

Nose

Beautiful aromatic richness, offering nuances of blueberry, black cherry and violet, coated by a touch of spices and dark chocolate. Superb minerality.

Palate

Complex and refined, with well-blended tannins. Round, powerful, with a nice harmonious length on the fruit.

Wine-growing region

The vineyards of Castello di Fonterutoli are based on a unique soil, made up of the decomposition of Alberese and sandstone, dominated by limestone, which gives the vineyards a mineral and complex core. The soils of the Belguardo vineyards, consisting mainly of very fine gravel from the decomposition of sandstone and a clay-limestone mixture known as alberese, confirm the maxim that poor soils produce great wines.

Winemaking

Manual harvest, vatting between 13 and 15 days, aging for 18 months in French and American oak barrels (30% new wood).

Bottle closure

Cork
