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

Jul 11th, 2022Smoky, winey cherry fruit in the nose, with minerally gravel and a little balsamic note. Medium bodied and nicely balanced, with little tannin and nice acids. Great pasta wine.

Aug 9th, 2021Bright red-brick clear color; nose is dominated by flower petals and scented liquid soap, potpourri sort of, likely from new oak, which obscures other flavors like fruit; medium-everything on the palate, with unexceptional overall taste.

Mar 29th, 2021Very complex for a non-Riserva. Nose has macerated cherry, roasted green herbs, loads of crushed stone-rich gravel, and a light savory balsamic note. Savory and intense, it’s got good acidity and cling. Hella good CC.

Sep 14th, 2020This is a nice Chianti and good value for the money. Not terrible complex but pairs well with any Italian food. Nice sipping wine and a pleasant finish. Enjoy. Would not plan on aging.

Mar 14th, 2020Very elegant and complex. So fragrant with warm gravel, cigar box, macerated ripe cherry, and sweet spice. Beautifully balanced in the mouth with medium-full body, ripe fruit, and loads of savory minerality. A little less acidity than traditional, but still so great with my red sauce with meatballs. ,
