More Information

Fèlsina is a leading wine estate in Chianti Classico, founded in 1966. It is situated at the southeast edge of the Classico appellation. It was once one of many estates owned by the Dukes of Tuscany, and was farmed mainly by sharecroppers growing olives until World War II.

Chianti Classico is the cornerstone of the estate’s production. The vineyards are located in Castelnuovo Berardenga, in the South-Eastern part of the Chianti Classico appellation, to the North-East of Siena. Almost exclusively with a South-Western exposure, they sprawl across ventilated slopes at an altitude ranging from 320-420 meters above sea level. The Chianti Classico is 100% Sangiovese aged in a combination of casks and smaller French oak barrels.

For this Riserva bottling, the vineyards are located in Castelnuovo Berardenga, in the South-Eastern part of the Chianti Classico appellation, to the North-East of Siena. Almost exclusively with a South-Western exposure, they sprawl across ventilated slopes at an altitude ranging from 320 to 420 meters above sea level. The Riserva is 100% Sangiovese aged in a combination of casks and smaller French oak barrels. "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." - Felsina
