2021 Fèlsina "Rancia" Chianti Classico Gran Selezione
95
Vinous
Review Date: 07/2024The 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Rancia is the first vintage in which Rancia moves from Riserva to Gran Selezione. More importantly, Fèlsina appears to be back on track after two years, during which Rancia underperformed because of the inclusion of a parcel that did not work in the blend and contributed a slight vegetal character. The 2021 marries power and finesse in the way only Rancia can. Black cherry, leather, game, spice, licorice, tobacco and grilled herbs are all finely knit in a brooding yet elegant Gran Selezione that delivers the goods. Superb. (AG) 95+

Notes
Fèlsina’s Rancia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2021 is a benchmark expression of Sangiovese, showcasing both power and finesse. The nose is layered with ripe red cherry, wild berries, and dried rose, intertwined with notes of tobacco, cedar, and sweet spice. The palate is vibrant yet structured, offering juicy red fruit, earthy minerality, and finely integrated tannins, all lifted by crisp acidity. A long, elegant finish lingers with hints of balsamic and crushed herbs.
