FattoriaDi Felsina Rancia Chianti Riserva 2016
About this product
First released in 1983, the Rancia (the wine is named for the vineyard from which the fruit is sourced) is named for a former Benedictine monastery, now known as the Rancia farmhouse. The southwest-facing vineyard is located in Castelnuovo Berardenga at elevations ranging between 400 and 420 metres it has a fine exposure. Newly planted vines are cuttings from the selezione massale or ‘massal selection’ vines in the old Rancia vineyard.

A decadent Chianti Classico Riserva that shows plenty of cedar, spices, leather, wet earth and tobacco, but also really fresh undertones of dried orange rind and strawberries. Integrated and structured on the palate with a velvety mouthfeel and mouth-refreshing acidity. Drink now or hold.
