Felsina Chianti Classico 2021 (375ml Half Bottle)
93 Points, James Suckling – 92 Points, Vinous – 91 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate
“The 2021 Chianti Classico Berardenga is boisterous and expressive right out of the glass. Dark fruit, earthiness, leather, spice and tobacco convey tons of Castelnuovo Berardenga character. The 2021 keeps getting better in the glass. It’s a super-classic example of the house style and a wine readers should consider buying by the case. The Berardenga bottling can be a bit wild, but in 2021 has an added touch of sophistication that is undeniable.”

A firm and silky red with cherry, dried flower and orange peel aromas and flavors. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and a fresh and focused finish. Needs a little time to soften but I already enjoy the energy here. Drink or hold.

The Fèlsina 2021 Chianti Classico Berardenga has a spicy or crunchy side that I often find with Sangiovese. There is a lot of fruit brightness here with cassis, red cherry, mineral, dried tobacco and grilled rosemary. This is an easy-drinking Tuscan red with the natural acidity and brightness to pair with a classic lasagna or eggplant parmigiana.
Fattoria di Fèlsina has long been one of the top names in Tuscany. For decades they’ve been nothing less than a benchmark producer of Chianti, making some of the finest examples of ageworthy and complex Chianti bottlings in all of Italy at a number of different price points.
Their impact on the region is far reaching too. They were one of the first to stop blending white wine into their Chiantis, instead focusing more on 100% Sangiovese varietals, something you see all over Tuscany now.
They don’t grow Cabernet, they don’t grow Merlot, they grow Sangiovese. And their ability to make quality Sangiovese is second to none in a region where it is paramount.
