Felsina Chianti Classico (75cl, 13.5%)

A red wine from Chianti Classico DOCG in Tuscany, made entirely from Sangiovese by Fattoria di Felsina in Castelnuovo Berardenga. The estate has practised massal selection since 1983. Fermentation and maceration take place in stainless steel for 12-15 days at 28-30°C, followed by 12 months of ageing, mainly in medium-size Slavonian oak barrels with a small share in twice- and thrice-used French oak. The nose shows woodland berries, ripe red cherry, star anise, crushed mint and graphite minerality. The palate brings crushed raspberry, bright cherry, baking spice and a savory mineral thread, with supple tannins. The finish is medium to long, with fine-grained tannins, cedar and spice.
