The wow effect is impressive and is given to the reader in the grace of a fresh and fragrant sensory profile born from the vine the territory and the precision of the fermentation processes in the cellar. The scents of lavender lime hawthorn and jasmine set the primary scene perfectly followed by the radiant alternation of cherries fused with notes of pomegranate rose petals grapefruit juice mandarin juice and guarana. Green tea and toasted walnuts complete the sensory picture of indescribable beauty. Full body incredibly silky tannins that give sweetness and immediate harmony and a finish of authentic beauty that cannot help but leave the consumer speechless. Only 900 bottles produced. Drink now.

Gorgeous cherry and berry aromas with hints of flowers and cedar following through to a full body with round caressing tannins that are so harmonious and give real clarity and intensity to the wine. Sangiovese. No sulfur added. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

The 2019 Fico brings it home in spectacular fashion. This is an ambitious organic and biodynamic wine made in limited quantity. The project initially started off with four vineyard rows near a fig tree in the same parcel that gives Sangiovese for Duccio Corsini's Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Zac. Today 20 rows are dedicated to Fico and production is expected to grow by 900 bottles to a grand total of 2400. Fruit from the Zac vineyard also goes to Per Filo although the two wines are represented by different yields and selections. Another difference between the two is that Fico goes into barrique and Per Filo finishes in tonneaux. This wine is distinguished by an extremely lifted and feather light quality. It also offers floral tones and wild fruit with an impressive level of sharpness and focus. It's like looking through a recently polished window. This vintage is where you really start to see renewed momentum in the Fico Wine project. Published: Feb 09 2023
