Felsina is a thousand year old estate in the hills of Tuscany. The estate was bought in 1966 and turned into the present winery.
As a Riserva, the DOCG rules mandates that it must be aged a minimum of two years in barrel and three months in bottle before release.
The Berardenga is one of several Chianti this estate produces from the Classico district. In addition to Classico, there are also seven sub-districts in Chianti; Arentini, Fiorentini, Senesi, Pisane, Montalbano, Montespertoli and Rufina.
2016 Chianti Classico Riserva Berardenga
100% Sangiovese. Clear, medium red in color, classic nose of sweet violets, graphite, tar and leather, silky, tight tannins with some wood notes, firm acidity. Still hard edged at this point, needs some more time in the bottle.
