James Suckling – A firm and silky red with cherry, dried flower and orange peel aromas and flavors. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and a fresh and focused finish. Needs a little time to soften but I already enjoy the energy here.

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – The Fèlsina 2021 Chianti Classico Berardenga has a spicy or crunchy side that I often find with Sangiovese. There is a lot of fruit brightness here with cassis, red cherry, mineral, dried tobacco and grilled rosemary. This is an easy-drinking Tuscan red with the natural acidity and brightness to pair with a classic lasagna or eggplant parmigiana.

Wine Spectator – The picture of harmony, elegance and purity, this red features black cherry, blackberry, violet and mineral aromas and flavors. Starts out supple, with vibrant acidity and firm tannins emerging on the finish. Drink now through 2033.

Wine Enthusiast – Ripe and sour cherry and vanilla bean come out on the nose and again on the palate. A decisively salty, mineral streak comes through, with concentrated tannins and substantial acidity.

World Wine – "Lustrous ruby with orange tinges. Brooding nose with sweet earthy notes. This is from a single, high-elevation vineyard in Lamole, but seems more plush than Fontodi's 2019 offering. Deep, concentrated pure cherry palate of amazing length and with lots of juice and persistent gravelly, clinging tannins on the finish." Walter Spencer (jancisrobinson.com)

James Suckling – Darker fruit on the nose with walnut, spice box, incense and espresso bean, too. Medium-bodied, firm and structured with polished tannins and a creamy, compact mid-palate. Quality dark oak spice throughout. Long and rich. Better from 2024.

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – An icon wine of Tuscany, the Fèlsina 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia (with 48,000 bottles made) is distinguished by its special aromatic fingerprint that truly brings us to a sense of place. At its heart, the wine reveals dark fruit and plum. More interesting, however, are the dusty mineral sensations that give so much texture and depth to the Rancia. These aromas can only be found in Sangiovese from the galestro and alberese-rich soils of Chianti Classico. This vintage follows up with sweet tobacco, toasted chestnut and scorched earth. Give this wine more time to flesh out and evolve in the bottle.

Wine Enthusiast – The nose on this wine is reserved, delicate and approachable. It opens with a strong presence of eucalyptus and sambuca flower followed by gunpowder, slate, brick and bright cherries. The palate is still very herbaceous, giving way to coffee grinds, chocolate and more cherries. Tannins still feel dense but not impenetrable, and acid lends crunch to the fruit.?

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva is an organic blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot. I can't say enough good things about Barbara Widmer and her winemaking efforts in this wild and forested corner of Radda in Chianti. Her wines always express clarity and focus, and this is especially clear in a mid-range product like this. This vintage offers more concentration and darkness for sure, followed by blackberry and wild plum. There is oaky cinnamon and sweet spice at the back.

Chianti Classico, characterized by its distinctive black rooster seal, hails from the heartland of Tuscany, between the cities of Florence and Siena. This wine, made primarily from the Sangiovese grape, stands as a beacon of Italian viticulture, carrying with it tales of ancient winemaking practices and age-old traditions. The region's unique topography, marked by rolling hills, lush valleys, and a mosaic of vineyards, provides an ideal backdrop for grape cultivation. The varied soil types, from galestro to alberese, further influence the wine's profile, endowing it with depth and nuance. With its vibrant red fruit aromas, hints of violets, and a touch of earthy undertones, Chianti Classico offers a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate. Beyond its taste, this wine is also a reflection of Tuscany's rich culture, history, and the unwavering passion of its winemakers. Over centuries, it has solidified its position as not just a beverage, but an experience, evoking the spirit and beauty of its homeland.
Chianti Classico is a distinguished sub-region within the broader Chianti wine area, located in Tuscany, Italy. Known for its stringent quality standards, wines bearing the Chianti Classico denomination are some of the finest expressions of the Sangiovese grape. The label is easily recognized by the iconic black rooster seal, a historic symbol of the Chianti Classico Wine Consortium. Chianti Classico wines are celebrated for their robust character, bright red fruit flavors, and age-worthiness, showcasing a balance of acidity, tannins, and alcohol. Rich in history and tradition, these wines reflect the lush rolling hills, favorable climate, and calcareous soils of the region.
Within the Chianti Classico territory, certain labels have gained international acclaim. Among them, Chianti Classico Riserva and Chianti Classico Gran Selezione are particularly noteworthy. While the standard Chianti Classico offers a more approachable taste, Riserva wines are aged longer, resulting in more depth and complexity. Gran Selezione, the pinnacle of the quality pyramid, is made from the best grapes, undergoing rigorous quality checks, ensuring top-tier wine experiences.
Chianti Classico wines, though predominantly made from Sangiovese, can be categorized based on aging and quality parameters. The primary classifications include the standard Chianti Classico, which offers vibrant and fresh profiles. The Chianti Classico Riserva undergoes extended aging, generally including time in oak barrels, offering a fuller body and greater aging potential. The elite Chianti Classico Gran Selezione represents the crème de la crème, made exclusively from estate-grown grapes, ensuring exceptional quality and unique terroir expression.
Wines that consistently garner attention include those from renowned producers such as Castello di Ama, Fontodi, Isole e Olena, and Ricasoli. Their Gran Selezione and Riserva labels, in particular, have been praised for their elegance, structure, and capability to evolve beautifully over time.
Chianti Classico wines, with their bright acidity and tannic backbone, are food-friendly choices. Traditional Tuscan dishes such as osso buco, wild boar ragù, and ribollita are delightful pairings. Grilled meats, particularly lamb and beef, complement the wine's structure. For cheese lovers, pecorino and aged parmesan can be sublime when paired with a glass of Chianti Classico. Given the wine's versatility, it harmonizes well with a range of dishes, making it a favorite for dinner tables around the world.
