2023 Fèlsina Chianti Colli Senesi

Lustrous mid ruby. Perfumed, concentrated cherry and raspberry nose with a hint of cinnamon bark. Fragrant, polished, cool raspberry and cherry palate with juicy acidity and finely ground yet firm tannins. Elegant and cool. (WS)

The 2023 Fèlsina Chianti Colli Senesi is, without a doubt, one of the greatest values in all of Tuscany. When a benchmark estate like Fèlsina, whose iconic Chianti Classicos are some of the best Chianti out there, releases a wine from the neighboring Colli Senesi appellation, you pay attention. This is your chance to drink the Fèlsina pedigree at an everyday price. This wine is sourced from the estate's vineyards that lie just outside the Chianti Classico border, but it's farmed and vinified with the same meticulous care as their top bottlings like Rancia and Fontalloro. Primary Sangiovese character: bright red cherry, fresh raspberry, and floral notes of violet and rose petal fill the glass. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, juicy, and incredibly refreshing, with soft tannins and a lively acidity that makes it endlessly drinkable. This is the ultimate "by-the-case" red for any occasion. It’s a perfect match for anything. Stock up now for the fall and winter seasons.
