Il Fuimarolo
Toscana IGT, Italy
A classic style from a distinguished region

Il Fuimarolo
Sangiovese
This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.
Winemaking Our winemakers strive to honor Tuscany’s timeless heritage with every decision as they nurture this wine along its journey from grape to glass. Mindful fruit selection, length of skin contact, fermentation techniques, and oak barrel aging each play a role in the endless complexity this wine has to offer. The result is a balance of satisfying structure and classic varietal expression.
Vintage Our 2019 vintage awoke late from its winter slumber due to an especially cold and wet spring. Thankfully the summer brought high temperatures and dry weather with the exception of a few (welcome) rainstorms at the end of July, which replenished thirsty vines. The summer heat that amplified ripe flavors was contrasted by a balmy autumn that preserved natural acidity and created a delectably ba ...

WINE REGION:
Toscana IGT
Italy's rich food and wine heritage is nowhere better demonstrated than historic Tuscany. You can eat and drink like a king here—ideally on a grand terrazza overlooking medieval hillsides strewn with olive and cypress trees. From mouthwatering whites for sipping with antipasti to sophisticated reds that elevate the meat dishes of Florence (and of course leaving room for sweet Vin Santo with dessert), Tuscany has it all. Sangiovese is the region's star grape, giving us not just Chianti, but also Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and the epic Super Tuscan blends. The IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) classification system was created to provide more freedom and ease for winemaking within Italy. Wines under the IGT classification are regulated on the region of origin—where within the country grapes are grown—instead of varietals or wine styles as DOC and DOCG laws focus on.

TASTING NOTES:
Cherry
Tobacco
Earth
To unveil each level of complexity, decant this wine. On the nose, dense aromas of earth intermingle with tobacco and leather. The palate is light-bodied with restrained acidity and coarse tannins. Muted red cherry flavors and savory oak lead to a dry, food-friendly finish.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Il Fuimarolo
"Here is born the river, sacred to the destinies of Rome." Deep within the forest of Mount Fumaiolo, crystal waters bubble from beneath the ground. These springs are the birthplace of the Tiber River, whose formative waters are to what Italy owes its grand legacy, having given rise to ancient empires, nurtured generations, and transported new ideas and modernization to developing lands. Il Fuimarolo wines take their name from the ancient boatmen and fishermen who frequented these waterways, which continue to shape Italy's heritage, reminding us that land may provide us a place to grow our roots, but it is water that brings us life.
