Founded in 1966 by Domenico Poggiali, Fèlsina is at the southern border of the Chianti Classico subzone of Castelnuovo Berardenga and boasts a variety of climates, landscapes, and terrain where Sangiovese reigns supreme. The Fèlsina wines are renowned for their structure, concentration, intensity and depth.

Fontalloro is the most representative expression of Fèlsina’s Sangiovese. Fontalloro grapes come from vineyards straddling the border between Chianti Classico and the Chianti Colli Senesi denomination. The vineyards lying within the Chianti Classico appellation are in the highest area of Fèlsina while those in the Chianti Colli Senesi are lower down (407-330 meters above sea level). With a southwestern exposure, the grapes are influenced by diverse soil compositions: on the Chianti Classico side the soil is stony and calcareous; on the Crete Senesi side the soil is sandy, loamy and silty with pebbles and marine sediments. First vintage 1983.
