Fossi
Enrico Fossi's burgeoning estate lies on the edge of Florence,
in a place called Signa, which is technically called Chianti
Colli Fiorentini. Facing the Carmignano hills, this land enjoys
one of Tuscany's best microclimates for vine cultivars. Fossi,
a dynamic renaissance man, broke tradition in a zone which
previously produced little quality wine. He does not believe
in the rules and regulations set by the governing wine body.
Fossi is making quality wines with international varieties
that can compete with France and California but still retain
their Italian identity.
We were the first to bring you the wines of Enrico Fossi,
and we were especially “wow-ed" by the outstanding
quality of his big, almost over-the-top, hedonistic reds.
Now we're showcasing his Sassoforte which we feel is the best
expression of a 100% cabernet ever to be produced on Italian
soil. Stylistically, this wine is still huge but more balanced
and refined than any he has ever produced.
In addition, in their first exposure in Italy his other wines
earned no less than 90+ points in Luigi Veronelli's prestigious
Wine Review. Fossi is a true master of big, bold, powerful
bombs who is sure to be a star in no time.
