WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Ruby red, with fine tonality and intensity. Spicy nose with notes of blossoms, wild berries, and mineral tones. Notes of spice and crisp fruit on the palate, with self-confident but supple tannins, and impressive structure and breed.
TASTING NOTES:
A compact and focused red with spiced cherries, raspberries, red licorice, iodine and crushed stones on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied with smoothly polished tannins framing the vivid fruit. Long and balanced. Drink or hold.

The Fèlsina 2022 Chianti Classico Riserva Berardenga shows pretty softness and plushness with dark fruits, plum and blackberry tart. This vintage delivers a hint of sweetness and some spice, but the wine remains easy and straightforward in terms of mouthfeel. This is an earthy, savory Sangiovese that matures in tonneaux for 12 to 16 months.

Smoky bacon fat overtones complement the cherry, bitter almond and sanguine flavors in this sinewy red. Feels open, yet with a firm grip of tannins in the end. Long, so give this a few more years in bottle. Best from 2028 through 2042.
