From a reference point Chianti Classico producer described as “one of the great estates in the world” by Vinous critic Antonio Galloni, these top scoring selections showcase Fattoria Felsina’s full range of Tuscan wines, from highly rated Chianti Classicos and age worthy Sangiovese to an elegant Chardonnay declared “one of the country’s best” by critic Ian D’Agata, always among the region’s top values and now unbeatably bargain priced for stocking up.

Perched on a hilltop in Castelnuovo Berardenga in southern Chianti Classico, Fattoria Felsina has risen to the top of appellation under the direction of Giuseppe Mazzocolin for over four decades, the massive 500-hectare estate boasting 95 hectares of biodynamically farmed vineyards and now run third generation Giovanni Poggiali. A lush Sangiovese that “readers should consider buying by the case,” according to Vinous critic Galloni, the compelling 93 pt. 2021 Felsina Chianti Classico Berardenga offers rich dark fruit hinting of earthy spice “backed by a solid base of tannins and vibrant acidity” according to the Wine Spectator’s Bruce Sanderson, while the fresh and vibrant 92 pt. 2021 Felsina I Sistri is “a classic expression of Chardonnay” according to the Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner, boasting intensely aromatic stone and citrus flavors framed by salty minerality and declared “a world class example of what Italy can do with this variety” by Italian wine expert Ian D’Agata. Earning the #22 spot on the Wine Spectator’s Top 100 of 2023, the sumptuous 94 pt. 2020 Felsina Chianti Classico Riserva reveals rich dark Sangiovese flavors with bright acidity from an outstanding vintage. .

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, promising to overdeliver value from an enticing Chardonnay to a full range of age worthy Sangiovese wines and ready to enjoy whenever an authentic taste of Tuscany beckons.

Showing a luminous and crystalline shine, the 2021 Chardonnay I Sistri is packed with citrusy flavors that cede to unripe peach, crisp pear and crushed stone. This is a classic expression of Chardonnay with lots of pretty fruit intensity. You also recognize it as a wine from Tuscany thanks to its soft, sun-kissed texture and those characteristic salty mineral notes.

92 points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate (May 2023)
