The 2020 Felsina Chianti Classico wine is fabulous. Fresh, aromatic and salivating with acidity. A charming, harmonious Chianti Classico, this exudes cherry, plum and thyme flavors, with elements of earth and mineral. Delivers dense tannins that exert influence on the finish, yet this remains balanced.

In the commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga, Fèlsina’s expansive vineyards are at the luminous southeastern tip of Chianti Classico. The Berardenga label represents a plentiful annual production of 250,000 bottles. On first impression, the 2020 is overtly ripe, yet with time prune cake and vanilla notes subside, allowing wild herb and savoury nuances to step in. The chewy tannins are long and supple, with ample fruit density to balance.

The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia is an absolutely stunning wine. The archetype of Rancia in the past has been of a big, potent Chianti Classico but in 2018, Rancia is a wine of mind-blowing elegance and finesse. Silky, perfumed and indescribably finessed, the 2018 dazzles from start to finish. It’s a magical wine in every way.

The Rancia vineyard lies entirely within the Chianti Classico zone, in the commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga, north east of Siena. It is a 6 hectars vineyard which sits at 400 metres above sea level, facing south. The vines were planted between 1958-1982, with newer plantings using genetic material from the old Rancia vineyard.

A beautiful wine, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Maestro Raro showcases the best of Tuscany and the best of this grape. This Cabernet Sauvignon offers a determined load of black fruit followed by a long array of subtle detailing with spice, leather and bitter chocolate. You also get balsam herb, crushed mineral and a touch of green olive. The wine offers a stunning level of fullness and complexity with softly layered and fine tannins that caress the palate.

The 2019 Felsina Rancia Chianti Classico Riserva wine has a darker fruit on the nose with walnut, spice box, incense and espresso bean, too. This Chianti is medium-bodied, firm and structured with polished tannins and a creamy, compact mid-palate. Quality dark oak spice throughout.

One of the most singular and revered bottlings in Chianti, Felsina’s Rancia was first made in 1983 from selecting the finest plots of the estates Poggio a Rancia vineyard. Built to rival some of the greats in Tuscany, it is a fan favorite for it’s age-worthy profile, complexity, and an extremely reasonable price compared to other top collectibles. This is a go-to Chianti Classico that over-delivers, vintage after vintage.
