Felsina Chianti Classico Riserva 2019

Felsina Chianti Classico Riserva 2019 impresses with a compact, clear dark cherry fruit and an elegant spiciness, typical of Chianti Classico Riserva. The traditional Felsina winery, located in Castelnuovo Berardenga, has stood for generations for Sangiovese-typical clarity and terroir expression. The 2019 vintage lends the wine finesse and balance, giving it structure without being overpowering. The craftsmanship behind the wine is reflected in a harmonious overall impression that unfolds slowly and deserves attention. Tasting note: In the glass, the wine unfolds ruby red colors with a garnet rim; aromas of cherry, plum, and dried herbs, accompanied by light notes of violet, tobacco, and spice. On the palate, it presents itself as round and well-structured, with velvety tannins and a lively, controlled acidity that promotes length and balance. The composition creates a balanced combination of fruit, spice, and freshness, allowing the wine to be enjoyed both young and with further developmental potential. Drinkability: The maturity of the 2019 Riserva is expected to continue developing in the coming years; the wine already offers enjoyment today but holds potential for further development in the near future. Food-Pairing: Pairs excellently with grilled meats such as rib-eye or lamb chops, with pasta with meat ragu, or with mature Pecorino – dishes that complement structure and spice.
