Tasting Notes: The Felsina Chianti Classico Berardenga shows a deep ruby red color in the glass. The nose is dense with fine and elegant aromas dominated by wild berries, along with array of spice and wood notes. This follows through on the palate with good tannins and a long finish.
Estate History: Felsina has long been one of the great names in Tuscany. Based in the Chianti Classico region, Felsina produces one of the finest ranges of age-worthy and complex Chianti bottlings in all of Italy. At Felsina it is widely recognized that the fame of Tuscan wines is based historically on the compelling character of wines produced primarily from Sangiovese, and the estate continues to champion this great varietal using only old “massale” selections cultivated from cuttings from their top old vineyards. The vineyards are farmed organically and the average age of the Sangiovese vines at Felsina is remarkably old, with the “normale” bottling of the Chianti Classico hailing from vineyards that average fully thirty years of age.
