Denser, weightier than Felsina but also shallower. The structure is simpler and the aroma is not as lively. Has subtle authentic perfume, just not as appealing as Felsina. — 6 years ago
1994!, Fattoria Di Felsina, Castelnuovo Berardenga. Chianti Classico Riserva, Sangiovese. Wow, this is in a great place for me. Showing it's age in a good way: still has some primary fruit but has layers of secondary flavors that keep on coming. Raisins, leather, dry fruit, roses, wet dirt and crab boil ( a bag of spice and herbs). I want more. Was so good with pizza. — 10 years ago
Quite dark ruby color. Nose kind of follows with darker berry and cherry notes, musky/earthy element and some oak. On the palate wine is midweight+, suprisingly open and like nose suggested rather dark toned compared to what I've used to from this bottling. Had to check if I grabbed a Felsina CC instead of this. Anyway a solid CC in the making — 4 years ago
Drank at All'Onda. A great chianti Classico riserva, declassified in this vintage (anyone know why?). Rustic, and quite different than other (le trame le boncie, Felsina) wines I've had from castelnuovo beradegna. This is very tasty, probably has a good couple more years, but perfectly delicious now. — 10 years ago
I wish all Chianti tasted like Felsina. Ok, yes it was a warm & ripe & fruity vintage, but there’s still a lot of depth & nuance that doesn’t get lost: Rosemary, thyme, bay leaf, black and red cherry, black plum pit, a touch of roast meat. Aromatic & supple, well-managed tannins. Bravo 👏🏻 — 2 years ago

Richer style of Chianti Riserva, less acidic.
Underwood, potpourri, dried cherry, hint of prunes and herbs. — 6 months ago
