FELSINA CHIANTI RISERVA 750

The vineyards are located in Castelnuovo Berardenga, in the southeastern part of the Chianti Classico appellation, northeast of Siena. Almost exclusively with a southwestern exposure, they sprawl across ventilated slopes at an altitude ranging from 320 to 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 was in 1967.

Grape Varietals:

100% Sangiovese

Tasting Notes:

Ruby red, with fine tonality and intensity. Spicy nose with notes of blossoms, wild berries, and mineral tones. Notes of spice and crisp fruit on the palate, with self-confident but supple tannins, and impressive structure and breed.

92 Points -  Vinous, Antonio Galloni, "The 2021 Chianti Classico Berardenga is bositerous and expressive right out of the glass. Dark fruit, earthiness, leather, spice, and tobacco... the 2021 keeps getting better in the glass. It's a super-classic example of the house style and a wine readers should consider buying the case.
