Tasting Notes
"Vallocchio is Fanti's single (Vigna) expression from Castelnuovo dell'Abate fruit gained off of vines up to 35 years old from what the estate refers to as their mosaic of uniquely gifted plots; Vigna Bellavista, Vigna Sassone, Vigna Casabandi and Vigna Macchiarelle Nuova. The two hectares produce only 10,000 bottles (in many but not all vintages) in what can only be translated as "the valley of the eye," or it is these highly perceptive vines that see the forest for the trees. Always a rather grand and impressive expression of Brunello with big bones, fruit and alcohol, Vallocchio is remarkable for how it smells and even more so tastes like limestone, with thanks to the presence of Galestro in sand. The focused and precise 2013 is aged mostly in large casks with just a few barriques, an elévage stylistic that will only continue to trend in the direction of older wood restraint as time goes by. Drink 2020-2031."

The Producer
Tenuta Fanti
The Fanti family has owned the Tenuta Fanti estate since the early 1700s. It spans 300 hectares in Tuscany, with 52 hectares dedicated to certified sustainable vineyards, 110 hectares to olive orchards boasting 8,500 olive trees, 80 hectares for seed plots, and 70 hectares of forests. Filippo Fanti took over the company's leadership in the early 1970s, steering it towards a focus on high quality, beginning with the revitalization of the soil. He carefully replanted the vineyards and olive trees using sustainable methods, selecting the best plots on the estate. Construction of a modern, spacious gravity flow cellar for winemaking, ageing, and refining began in 2004. Tenuta Fanti is committed to producing sustainably made, top-notch wines that reflect the terroir of Castelnuovo dell'Abate. With Filippo's four decades of winemaking experience and the drive of his daughter Elisa, who joined the family business in 2007, the FANTI brand continues to grow in importance, solidifying its position both domestically and internationally.
