Felsina Chianti Classico Riserva 2006 Tuscany, Italy
Felsina Chianti Classico Riserva is a gorgeous wine from this famous appellation of Tuscany. Fattoria di Felsina has long been one of the great names in Tuscany. Based in the Chianti Classico region, Felsina produces one of the finest ranges of ageworthy and complex Chianti bottlings. Unlike many of their neighbors, Felsina has never succumbed to the temptation to produce "new age" wines blended with Cabernet or Merlot. Felsina wines are classic Chianti, 100% Sangiovese. The Riserva is made from vines 50 years or older. Antonio Galloni for Wine Advocate rated this red wine gem 91+ points, saying it "possesses wonderful depth in its black cherries, licorice, tar, smoke and leather. This is a relatively muscular vintage for the Riserva with firm yet well integrated tannins and an authoritative finish." If only we had more of it to offer!
Felsina Chianti Classico Riserva is deep ruby red in color with a beautiful nose of dark cherries, plums, berries, spices and violets. Medium-full in body with moderate acidity and silky tannins, this red offers flavors of black cherry, blackberry and mocha, with well integrated sweet oak. Aged for 12 months in small and medium oak casks, it is nicely balanced to enjoy now or to cellar for 7-8 years. The finish is rich, long and polished.
Enjoy Felsina Chianti Classico Riserva with veal, pasta, osso bucco, and aged cheeses.
