An icon wine of Tuscany, the Fèlsina 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia (with 48,000 bottles made) is distinguished by its special aromatic fingerprint that truly brings us to a sense of place. At its heart, the wine reveals dark fruit and plum. More interesting, however, are the dusty mineral sensations that give so much texture and depth to the Rancia. These aromas can only be found in Sangiovese from the galestro and alberese-rich soils of Chianti Classico. This vintage follows up with sweet tobacco, toasted chestnut and scorched earth. Give this wine more time to flesh out and evolve in the bottle. ~ Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Felsina is one of the great standard-bearers of Sangiovese in Tuscany, consistently producing wines of depth, structure, and longevity from their estate in Castelnuovo Berardenga, at the southeastern edge of the Chianti Classico appellation. Founded in 1966, Fèlsina quickly rose to prominence for its commitment to quality and site expression, long before the modern renaissance of Chianti. The estate practices organic viticulture and focuses almost exclusively on Sangiovese, producing wines that bridge traditional soul and modern precision. Their style is classically structured yet never rustic—marked by purity, freshness, and age-worthiness. Among their range, Rancia Riserva is the estate’s most iconic single-vineyard wine, sourced from a historic parcel with ideal sun exposure and galestro soils, situated at altitudes between 350 and 400 meters.
