2007 Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga Chianti Classico Riserva Colonia, Italy, Tuscany, Wine Review
I love Chianti. My favorite winery there is Felsina. This is their top Chianti. it is rare and expensive. It is 100% Sangiovese from the Rancia vineyard's highest growing vines. The wine is quite concentrated and complex. Deep ruby in color. On opening, this was tight but with a couple hours of air, it opened beautifully. Lots of cherries and black cherries on the nose along with some char and a bit of a pine forest. On the palate, this is bold with firm tannins. Lots of cherry fruit.
