2016 Felsina Berardenga Chianti Classico Riserva

€72.95
The Rancia vineyard takes its name from the historic Rancia farmhouse, once a Benedictine monastery. Located in Castelnuovo Berardenga at elevations ranging between 400 and 420 metres it has a fine southwest-facing exposure. The more recent plantings utilize genetic material from massal selections gathered from the old Rancia vineyard. The soil is composed of limestone-derived alberese classic to the Castelnuovo Berardenga area and of galestro marl in some areas. First vintage was 1983.

Description

Ruby red color with good intensity and shade. Spicy nose, floral notes and small red and black fruits, with mineral hints and a light toasted note. On the palate hints of spice with young, consistent and soft tannins, straight and tight in the finish, addictive to flavor and sour line.
