Fèlsina "Berardenga" Chianti Classico Riserva 2021

Wine Spectator : 95 Points

(10/31/2024) The core of cherry, pomegranate and raspberry fruit is detailed with Tuscan scrub, iron, vanilla and tobacco notes as this intense red builds in power to the expansive conclusion, where its fruit, mineral and wild herb flavors converge. Shows fine balance and length; this just needs time to absorb the oak. Best from 2027 through 2043. 5,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.

Vinous - Antonio Galloni : 93 Points

(6/2024) The 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva shows the pedigree of this important vintage in its complex, multi-faceted personality. A wine of nuance and layers, the 2021 has so much to offer. Black cherry, leather, spice, tobacco, menthol, licorice and game are all amplified in this super-classic Riserva from Fèlsina. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2041.

James Suckling : 93 Points

(7/13/2024) A well-composed, balanced and refined riserva with aromas of cherries, dried thyme, bark and warm spices. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins. Dense and textured on the palate, with fine structure and poise. Focused and well defined, with a long, flavorful, vivid finish. Drink or hold.
