Felsina Chianti Classico Riserva 2021

Wine Spectator 95 WS TOP 100 2024 Rank #13
“The core of cherry, pomegranate and raspberry fruit is detailed with Tuscan scrub, iron, vanilla and tobacco notes as this intense red builds in power to the expansive conclusion, where its fruit, mineral and wild herb flavors converge. Shows fine balance and length; this just needs time to absorb the oak. Best from 2027 through 2043.”

Kerin O’Keefe 95
“Ripe dark-skinned fruit, juniper berry, iris and French oak aromas propel out of the glass on the radiant 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva from Felsina. Elegant and showing wonderful intensity, the palate features succulent Marasca cherry, cassis, star anise and oak-driven sensations alongside firm, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it balanced. This is still young so give it a few more years to fully develop.”
