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
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
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
Golden amber in colour,, with rancia & oxidative notes in the forefront and some hay and ripe apricot in the back. Nice acidity with nutty aromas, high drinkability. Not unlike a dry sherry, without the steering acidity. Interesting. — 7 years ago

A last minute substitution for a likely flawed bottle of Fèlsina Rancia...Just one of many chances we take when buying wines on the secondary market. 🤷🏻♂️ — 5 months ago
