Description

Fèlsina is synonymous with Chianti Classico. The vineyards from which the grapes used for this elegant red wine come are located in Castelnuovo Berardenga, in the south-eastern part of the Chianti Classico area. Oriented almost exclusively to the south-west to enjoy the warmest and most intense sun, they extend between 320 and 420 metres above sea level. Rather heterogeneous soils which, together with the different exposures and the high slope of the vineyards, force the winery technicians to make several passages during the harvest. The harvest, however, always takes place within the first three weeks of October. Fermentation at controlled temperature, the entire maceration process takes place in steel tanks and lasts for about two weeks, with automatic punching down and daily pumping over. Maturation in Slavonian oak barrels of medium capacity and, in part, in second and third passage barriques. All for a period of about 12 months. Blending and bottling follow. Ruby red in colour with good intensity, the nose reveals a fruity, fine and elegant bouquet where undergrowth fruit predominates, accompanied by hints of spices. In the mouth it confirms the fruity soul, with a right tannicity and a persistent aftertaste.
