Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga
Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend
Chianti Classico, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy
Not a great vintage or perhaps not a great bottle. This has apparent VA and an unbalanced character. Somewhat medicinal.

Good wine for a tough year. Not much fruit, but loads of pungent, balsamic, savory and gravelly flavors. Vigorous acids and lots of soft tannin. A bit demanding on its own but it went well with a rustic chicken braise.

Apr 15th, 2019Better than the last bottle I had several months ago. Open-knit, beautiful scents of dark, ripe cherry, woodsy underbrush, and dark gravel. Mouthfilling and nicely balanced.

Iron, earth, dried herbs, some bright berries, strong acids, and grippy tannins. Good stuff, could age well. This is a dead ringer food wine.

Dec 14th, 2017Chianti Classico at its best! This vintage needs more time in bottle but what a treat.

Oct 14th, 2017I just love this utterly classic style. Gorgeous crystalline sappy, bright cherry fruit with lovely gravelly minerality. Pure and balanced in the mouth, with nice acidity and a thin veil of soft tannin. Not opulent or super-concentrated, but totally at ease with itself. This is a dinner wine.
