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 2016 Chianti Classico Berardenga is a stellar, joyous wine. Bold, powerful and ample, with a good deal of finesse for such a big wine, the 2016 shows why this is such a compelling vintage for Chianti Classico. Leather, game, smoke, tobacco and licorice infuse a wine that oozes Sangiovese character. The 2016 needs a few years in bottle to be at its best, but is already pretty alluring. Moreover, this is a fabulous expression of the estate. Don't miss it." Antonio Galloni

"This is an excellent vintage in Chianti Classico that shows especially well in the simple, more accessible wines such as this. The 2016 Chianti Classico Berardenga delivers the power and density of its territory. The southern side of the appellation often shows the richest expressions of Sangiovese. This wine opens to sweet aromas of dark fruit, cherry and plum. The wine shows a slightly savory side as well with spice and dried terracotta that recalls the gray gravel soils of the region. Bay leaf, cola and chopped mint appear as subtle background notes." Robert Parker

"This is fragrant and floral with dark berries on the nose. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a fresh, clean finish. A driven and linear Chianti Classico. The backbone of fresh acidity gives this focus." James Suckling

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

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

"Made entirely with Chardonnay and aged in barriques, this medium-bodied white offers delicate aromas of yellow stone fruit, crushed herb and a whiff of toast. The polished linear palate demonstrates restraint and finesse, delivering mature yellow apple, peach, a sprinkling of ginger and coffee notes. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced." Wine Enthusiast

"The oak-aged 2016 I Sistri (100% Chardonnay) opens to a soft golden color with bright luminosity. There is a lot of character and aromatic intensity here, thanks to the optimally ripened quality of fruit. You get warmer tones of peach, pear and apricot, but you also get cooler tones of mint and white almond. Twelve months in oak give this wine a mid-weight feel with toasted flavors and creamy density." Robert Parker

"An opulent chardonnay with all the bells and whistles, giving the wine so much cooked apples, lemons, vanilla and hints of butterscotch. Full-bodied, bright and lively. Goes on for minutes. Best ever?" 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

"Rich aromas of sliced apples, dried apricots and crushed hazelnuts. Full body, a compact texture and a beautiful and savory finish. Plenty of bread dough on the finish." James Suckling

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

Die Spumante Edition Millesimato 2012 - 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

"Fèlsina's 2012 Millesimato Metodo Classico Brut shows tight and tonic lines with a generous personality. Peach and stone fruit aromas are found at its core and the wine also offers delicate mineral tones and a pretty touch of baked bread. This was a warm vintage, and you get extra padding or textural definition as a result. The finish is silky, and both these sparkling wines from Fèlsina offer delicate perlage that is not too spicy or sharp." Robert Parker

"Complex aromas with notes of lemons, kiwi, apples and pie crust. Full body, a round and dense texture and an exciting and mineral finish. A complex sparkling wine." 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

"A beautiful, maturing vin santo with a wonderful, creamy quality running right through the palate. The dried-mango and candied-orange character that it shows right now matches the moderate sweetness. A clean finish." James Suckling

"The 2007 Vin Santo del Chianti Classico (375-milliliters) is a gorgeous wine with so many descriptors that apply to the ever-evolving and complex bouquet. This golden dessert wine offers distinct aromas of dried apricot, honey and saffron. But give it a few moments and earthy or autumnal tones of wild mushroom, forest floor and aged cheese also rise to the top. The effect is almost savory and definitely very sophisticated. The wine glides smoothly over the palate with creamy richness and viscous smoothness." Robert Parker

"Fèlsina's 2007 Vin Santo del Chianti Classico is terrific. Silky, expressive and gracious, the 2007 is all class. Orange zest, mint, cinnamon and dried flowers grace the palate. The aromatics are especially pretty in this midweight, lifted Vin Santo." Antonio Galloni

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

Maestro Raro 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

"Love the aromas of blackcurrants and violets to this young red. Full body, dense and velvety tannins, a flavorful finish. Juicy at the end. Better to keep it in the cellar for at least a couple of years." James Suckling

"The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Maestro Raro is a wine of brooding density and muscular might. The bouquet is chiseled and extra tight with all levels of black fruit and spice packed tight at its core. That bounty is yearning to be released, as it will when the wine is further down its evolutionary course. I actually felt a moment of pause tasting this wine so young because I am confident that the best is yet to come. It would be a real shame not to wait. Tart blackberries and cherries segue to tar, spice, cola and crushed river stone. That tannic tightness on the close still needs time to soften. Only 6,500 bottles were made, but this is a terrific, terrific value." Robert Parker

Kraftvoll und energisch, ausdrucksstark und dicht ist die Rancia-Riserva aus gleichnamiger Einzellage. Den Duft prägen neben einer köstlich reifen und fülligen Frucht auch mineralische Noten. Der Geschmack ist erdig, tanninreich und terroirgeprägt, schön artikuliert, fein und mit genussvoller Länge. Ein Wein, der nach Einfühlungsvermögen und/oder ein paar Jahren Ruhe verlangt. SUPERIORE.DE

"Funkelndes, mitteldicchtes Rubin-Granat. Fein gezeichnete Nase mit Noten nach frischen Kirschen, Himbeeren und Granatapfel. Viel saftige Frucht in Ansatz und Verlauf, öffnet sich mit feinmaschigem, zugleich sehr dichtem Tannin das den Wein trägt, im Nachhall feine erdige Noten, ein Klassiker!" Falstaff

"Lustrous mid ruby. Hints of cherry fruit and cumin on the nose. Succulent cherry fruit and raspberry coulis with crunchy tannins on the palate. Lovely length and bite." Jancis Robinson

"The 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia is yet another magnificent wine in this range from Fèlsina. Silky, gracious and inviting, the 2016 starts off gradually and then builds, gaining volume and explosiveness with air. A wine of breadth, textural intensity and pure power, the 2016 Rancia is shaping up to be epic. That's pretty much all there is to it." Antonio Galloni

"The south-facing Rancia vineyard reaches altitudes of 420 metres, overlooking the lower-lying vineyards of Colli Senesi. It boasts complex soils of calcareous clay layered with the chalky white limestone-like alberese and schistose galestro. This 2016 vintage is simply stunning. It's stately yet gracious, with personality for days, leading with a sumptuous nose of smoke, exotic spice and iron-rich earth. Ripe fruit coats the mouth yet it remains buoyant and tangy as chalky tannins charge in to frame the palate. A seductive wine with an appetising, savoury edge and a long, long life ahead." Decanter
