Felsina

Ausgeglichener Chianti Colli Senesi mit reichlich Süßkirschen- und Pflaumenaromen, die von Gewürz- und Tabaknoten abgestimmt sind. Die durchsetzungsfähigen Tannine und eine straffe Säure lassen den Berardenga zur komplexen Version des Senesi werden. (superiore.de)

Sangiovese in Reinkultur: Mittleres Rubin, reich an fruchtig-blumigen Aromen, vielschichtig, tief und von gutem Schliff mit weiterem Entwicklungspotenzial. Ein körperreicher und harmonischer Chianti-Classico von höchst authentischer Machart. (superiore.de)

"The 2015 Chianti Classico Berardenga shows richness of fruit that is characteristic of this balanced and generous vintage. Soft layers of cherry, dark fruit, spice and moist earth peel back in slow succession. Despite its young age, the wine already shows a very promising textural impact that is both soothing and rich." Robert Parker

"Mid ruby with the beginning of orange tinges. Exotically perfumed, lifted raspberry nose. Rich and supple palate with tangy cherry and coating tannins on the finish. Very good." Jancis Robinson

"Dense yet rich, this red offers black cherry, earth and graphite aromas and flavors. Needs a year or two to find balance, yet the lingering, tobacco-inflected finish and refined tannins indicate the potential here." Wine Spectator

"Very focused and firm with chewy tannins and bright black cherry character. Medium body, dense center palate and a fresh finish. Solid. Fantastic wine." James Suckling

"Stunning and beautifully expansive, the 2015 Chianti Classico Berardenga is a wine to buy by the case and savor over the next 20 or so years. All the natural richness of the 2015 vintage comes through in a creamy, voluptuous Chianti Classico that hits all the right notes. This is quite frankly a remarkable level of quality for Fèlsina's entry-level offering." Antonio Galloni

Strohgelber, nach Bananen und weißen Blumen duftender Chardonnay mit frischem, herzhaftem Geschmack, knackiger Fruchtfülle und schöner Länge. Einer der großen Weissweine der Toskana! (superiore.de)

"A chardonnay with exotic fruit and plenty of flavor. Hints of vanilla and cream. Full and flavorful. Beautiful finish. Best in years from here." James Suckling

Helles Strohgelb, duftet nach Brotkruste, Mimose, Mispel und Mandel. Nach 22 Monaten auf der Hefe schön rund und ausgewogen, mit guter Säure, sauber und von lobenswerter Persistenz. (superiore.de)

Im Aufwind befindet sich der aparte Spumante Rosé aus überwiegend Sangiovese und Pinot Nero, der mit seiner duftenden, frischen, würzigen und seidigen Art selbstbewusst demonstriert, was sich aus dem toskanischen Terroir alles herausholen lässt. (superiore.de)

"This wine opens to a very attractive and extremely delicate pale pink color. The NV Metodo Classico Brut Rosé is a softer and rounder wine with more texture and fiber in the mouth. The bouquet offers pretty tones of rose petal, cassis and bitter almond. The effervescence is very soft and creamy, but there is enough acidity to keep the palate fresh. This wine stands out for the delicate nature of its appearance and approach." Robert Parker

Eindringlich und wundervoll klar in der Farbe entfaltet die Chianti Classico Riserva ihren einladenden, an reife Kirschen erinnernden Duft mit Noten von Gewürzen. Dicht und überaus saftig im Geschmack mit einer gehörigen Tanninpackung ausgestattet, voller Persönlichkeit und Authentizität. (superiore.de)

"A deep, powerful wine, the 2013 Chianti Classico Riserva has quite a bit of depth for a cool, late-ripening vintage. Sage, tobacco, menthol, smoke and dark cherry hit the palate in a deep, beautifully layered Chianti Classico endowed with real personality and class. This is another terrific wine from Fèlsina. Hints of leather, smoke and licorice reappear on the deeply expressive, virile finish." Antonio Galloni

"A Chianti Classico with a pretty backbone of tannin and acidity along with subtle chocolate and cherry character. Medium body. Solid as always. Better in a year or two but beautiful now to drink." James Suckling

Kräftig goldfarben, in der Nase betörende Noten von Orange, Pfirsich, Aprikose und reife Ananas. Im Geschmack ein leichter Mandelton mit deutlichem Traubencharakter und elegant fetter Süße. Ein idealer Dessert- und Meditationswein für besondere Anlässe. (superiore.de)

"This classic Tuscan dessert wine conveys aromas of pastry and nut. The palate delivers chestnut honey, dried apricot, citrus zest and a smooth, lingering finish." Wine Enthusiast

"This sweet and mellow mix of butterscotch, caramel and salted almond flavors is shaped by vibrant acidity, which brings focus on the long butterscotch aftertaste." Wine Spectator

"Made with Trebbiano, Malvasia and Sangiovese, the 2005 Vin Santo del Chianti Classico opens to a brilliant amber color and thick viscosity that hugs to the rim of the glass. Oak-driven tones of vanilla and caramel are immediately apparent, but quickly followed by candied fruit, butterscotch and orange peel. Clusters undergo a natural drying process on mats until February of the following year. The must is transferred to sealed oak casks containing the 'mother', or gelatinous remains from previous vintages." Robert Parker

Die Spumante Edition Millesimato 2011 - sorgfältig im Metodo Classico Verfahren gereift - gibt sich saftig, blumig und cremig, und sie zeigt eine schöne Säure. So recht ein Stoff, aus dem Träume sind. (superiore.de)

"The 2011 Millesimato Metodo Classico Brut shows more sophisticated contours with a greater level of aromatic depth and intrigue. The bouquet opens to preserved lemon, stone fruit and toasted pine nut. The yeasty elements in this luminous sparkling wine are more developed and creamy. This is a lean sparkling wine with a crisp finish and tight, persistent perlage." Robert Parker

Der Maestro Raro 2012 glänzt zuerst mit seiner lebhaften Farbe und imponiert danach mit einem Bouquet, welches nach Gewürzen, Leder- und Tabakaromen einen herrlichen Brombeerduft preisgibt. Weich breitet sich der konzentrierte Geschmack aus, in dem ein stabiles Säuregerüst bestens mit dem Tanningefüge kooperiert. (superiore.de)

"A traditional Super Tuscan cab with chewy tannins, minerals, as well as spice and berry character. Full-bodied, structured and savory. Needs two or three years to soften." James Suckling

"Fèlsina's 2012 Maestro Raro (Cabernet Sauvignon) is a real head-turner, although it is also an infant and in need of considerable cellaring. A bold, dark wine, the 2012 is vivid in the glass, with remarkable detail for such a big wine and exceptional overall balance. The 2012 is sweeping and dramatic in style, with plenty of that year's exotic fruit and opulence, along with plenty of sweet tobacco, rosemary, sage and cedar notes that add nuance. The 2012 needs time to fully meld together, but it is fabulous, even today." Antonio Galloni

"The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Maestro Raro is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Rancia Piccolo vineyard adjacent to the Rancia vineyard that is celebrated for its Sangiovese. The hot vintage has crafted a thick, dark and heavily concentrated wine that delivers extra power and brawn. The first vintage of this wine was 1987. Maestro Raro shows deep lines and thick determination in the mouth." Robert Parker

Tiefes Rubin, mineralischer, feiner holzfruchtiger Duft nach Kirsche, Zeder, Heidelbeere und Haselnuss. Mit Luftzufuhr werden die Aromen immer komplexer und der Terroir-Einfluss sehr deutlich. Am Gaumen kompakt und sehr präsent mit feinkörnigem Tannin und klassischen Proportionen. Sehr hohes Reifepotenzial und seit Jahrzehnten einer der besten Sangiovese der Zentraltoskana. (superiore.de)

"Sattes, dunkles Rubin mit leichtem Granatrand. Eröffnet mit Noten nach Tabak, etwas Trüffel, dann viel Zwetschke und Brombeere. Am Gaumen zunächst kompakte Frucht, öffnet sich mit festem, stoffigem Tannin, herzhaft und zupackend, im Finale leider etwas malzige Noten." Falstaff

"Aromas of plums, clay tiles and sage follow through to a full to medium body, silky tannins and a linear and racy finish. Love the underlying freshness and brightness to this. Excellent." James Suckling

"Gorgeous and soft, the 2013 Fontalloro is another landmark wine from this classic vintage. There is enormous intensity here and the wine is only at the beginning of its long aging trajectory. I suggest you put off drinking it for five to ten more years. There is evident thickness and generosity here, especially in the way those bold fruit favors are woven between dark spice and leather. There are sour accents on the close that remind you of the wine's youth. The tannins are fine and well integrated." Robert Parker

Strohgelber, nach Bananen und weißen Blumen duftender Chardonnay mit frischem, herzhaftem Geschmack, knackiger Fruchtfülle und schöner Länge. Einer der großen Weissweine der Toskana! (superiore.de)

"A chardonnay with exotic fruit and plenty of flavor. Hints of vanilla and cream. Full and flavorful. Beautiful finish. Best in years from here." James Suckling

Felsinas Chianti Classico Gran Selezione vom Vigneto Colonia ist ein über drei Generationen andauerndes Projekt der Familie Poggiali. Der Weinberg hat rötlich-braune Böden, reich an Magnesium und Eisen auf Felsblock von Kalkstein und Kalkmergel, ganz anders als alle anderen Lagen Fèlsinas. Der Wein ist beeindruckend dunkel-rubin, duftet expressiv mineralisch und rein, mit Aromen dunkler Kirsche und schwarzer Johannisbeere. Pure Eleganz, Raffinesse und Harmonie in gerade mal 3.000 nummerierten Flaschen für echte Liebhaber des Sangiovese!

"This wine opens to rich intensity and a dark purple-blackish color that is simply gorgeous to behold. The 2013 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Colonia is a superb expression that delivers so much joy on almost every measurable level. This vintage offers superb density and intensity with sharply defined aromas of black cherry, ripe blackberry, spice, leather and moist tobacco. There is a sweet note on the close that lasts for a minute or two before returning your taste buds to sophisticated and savory flavors. This is a gorgeous, gorgeous achievement." Robert Parker

"Volume, power and breadth are the signatures of the 2013 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Colonia. This is the first vintage in which Colonia falls in line with the rest of the Fèlsina range from a stylistic standpoint. Among other things, the use of French oak is much more measured than it was in Colonia's first vintages. Next to the flagship Rancia, Colonia is a sleeker, and perhaps a bit more polished, although it doesn't quite offer the same direct expression of Sangiovese." Antonio Galloni

"The Colonia vineyard boasts a very rocky galestro soil rich in magnesium and iron. Though planted in 1993, it wasn't made as a separate bottling until 2006, and less than 3,000 bottles are produced. It's aged mostly in used barriques , and the 2013 is a heady tangle of underbrush, incense, ripe cherry, mint and fragrant fennel. It's very polished but true to its origins; dense, savoury and mineral with layers of tactile, powdery tannins that will carry the wine for a couple of decades." Decanter
