Crafted by one of Chianti Classsico’s “flagship estates” according to the Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner, these highly rated Felsina selections are priced to deliver top value for Italian wine collectors and Felsina fans, a range of Tuscan treasures from one of the region’s most esteemed producers unbeatably priced whether choosing a few favorites or for mixing a case.
Located in the butterfly-shaped Castelnuovo Berardenga subregion in southernmost Chianti Classico, the historic 600-hectare Fattoria di Felsina estate has remained family owned since its purchase by Domenico Poggiali Felsina in 1966, rising to the top of appellation under the direction of Giuseppe Mazzocolin for over four decades and now run by Domenico’s son Giovanni Poggiali. Produced from the estate’s 95 hectares of biodynamically farmed vineyards, the fresh and refined 93 pt. 2021 Felsina Chianti Classico Berardenga is described as “a fantastic entry point for the Felsina range” by Jeb Dunnuck, a lush Sangiovese boasting earthy dark fruit and vibrant acidity that “readers should consider buying by the case,” according to Vinous critic Galloni. Earning the #22 spot on the Wine Spectator’s Top 100 of 2023, the rich and sultry 94 pt. 2020 Felsina Chianti Classico Riserva offers soft fruit flavors with “pretty mineral notes and light spice” according to the Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner boasting the structure to evolve over the next few decades. Crafted from 100% Sangiovese grown in Chianti Classico and Chianti Colli Senesi, Vinous critic Antonio Galloni calls the mineral-driven 96 pt. 2020 Felsina Fontalloro “a sensual, enveloping wine” revealing savory Sangiovese fruit hinting of wild herbs that captures “Sangiovese’s untamed side” according to Decanter’s Michaela Morris. The lesser known jewel of the Felsina portfolio and a “terrific, terrific value” according to the Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner, the silky 95 pt. 2020 Felsina Maestro Raro is a powerful, refined expression of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon “of unusual complexity as well as pedigree” according to critic Galloni built to enjoy over the next decade.
Boasting an “extraordinary ability to convey the essence of variety, place and vintage” according to Antonio Galloni of Vinous, these top rated Felsina wines reflect the estate’s rich legacy as standard bearers in Chianti Classico, meticulously crafting wines of “distinction and elegance” and all delivering outstanding value. |
