Felsina Chianti Classico Rancia Riserva 2020
95 Points, Wine Spectator – 95 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, James Suckling
This is the flagship Chianti bottling from the entire Chianti region and one of the reasons each year why Felsina is so highly decorated. The 2020 Rancia Reserva has finally been released after aging over three years between barrel and bottle. No doubt earmarked for more than one ‘Top 100’ list come later this year, this is a breathtaking wine that gains so much character and complexity in the glass with a little time. This is a triple 95-point beauty from one of the most storied, historic wineries in all of Tuscany. This is the bottling that everyone’s chasing… and for good reason.
Original price was: $70.00.$55.00Current price is: $55.00.

95 Points, Wine Spectator
Intense, with complex flavors of cherry, blackberry, violet, mineral and leafy underbrush, this red is silky and verges on racy. Harmonious and persistent, with a long, resonant aftertaste that echoes red fruit, mineral and savory elements. Best from 2025 through 2045.
95 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia shows beautiful minerality with dusty notes of crushed limestone or flint. This is the wine’s special signature, and it shines through in a warm vintage such as this. Rancia also offers an upfront quality of red and purple fruit tones. The 2020 vintage displays pretty concentration and richness with wild cherry and plum, but ultimately the wine leaves you with that elegant mineral sendoff. Rancia will require extra bottle age.
95 Points, James Suckling
A polished and very refined Rancia with sweet berries, cedar and hints of chocolate. Medium body. Fresh and focused. A little reserved at the end. It needs two or three years to come around.
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.
