Felsina Chianti Classico 750

Chianti Classico is the cornerstone of the estate’s production. The vineyards are located in Castelnuovo Berardenga, in the southeastern part of the Chianti Classico appellation, to the southeast of Siena. Almost exclusively with a southwestern exposure, they sprawl across ventilated slopes at an altitude ranging from 320-420 meters above sea level. Geologically, the terrains are mixed: in the higher parts the soil is predominantly rock quartz and calcareous alberese mixed with alluvial pebbles; strataform sandstone and loam characterize the vineyards on the edge of the Colli Senesi in the direction of the Crete Senesi. First vintage 1967.

Grape Varietals:

100% Sangiovese.

Tasting Notes:

Ruby red with deep intensity and hue. Fruity, fine and elegant aromas dominated by wild berries, along with array of spicy notes. Fruity on the palate with good tannins and a lingering finish.

92 Points - Falstaff, November 2023," Clear ruby red with a slightly lightening edge. On the nose fresh raspberries, strawberries, then a touch of forest floor and sour cherry. Fresh and juicy on the palate, with well-integrated tannins, long and fruity finish."

92 Points - WinesCritic.com, Raffaele Vecchione, July 2023. "Composed and graceful in its main sensory profile, it shows notes of plums, lemon blossom, green tangerines, jasmine, wild thyme and lemongrass. Medium-bodied, tasty and centred in the sip, it shows well-smoothed round tannins and a harmonious, balanced finish. The beauty of the essential. Drink now."
