Fèlsina Berardenga

Rancia, Chianti Classico Riserva 2003

75% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.  All grapes are from estate vineyards and the wine was aged for 12 months in French allier barriques.

Serve with, Pecorino Toscano, La Tur, Caciotto Tartufo.

The Wine Advocate 93 points “Fèlsina’s single-vineyard 2003 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia presents more overt toasted oak notes along with darker, riper fruit in a structured expression of Chianti Classico. With some time in the glass complex notes of smoke, tobacco, licorice, mint and black cherries emerge, completing this gorgeous and intensely satisfying wine. In two separate tastings I found the Rancia more complex than the Fontalloro, most likely owing to the poorer soils of the Rancia vineyard. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019.”
