I am not entirely satisfied. Perhaps the riserva is released too early.

Rich, full-bodied red wine with a complex bouquet of ripe red fruit, forest floor, and integrated barrel tones. The mouthfeel is round and delicate, with a crisp, tart ending and a good seamlessness of tannins and acidity.

Delicate yet muscular red, boasting crystal clarity and seamless balance. Its lightness belies its ability to hold its own against a variety of strong ingredients, consisting of pasta, mackerel, and even deer.

What the web is saying

Fèlsina Berardenga Chianti Classico Riserva is praised for its rich, full-bodied character, featuring notes of cherry, forest floor, and herbs. While some appreciate its balanced tannins and aging potential, others find certain vintages too youthful or straightforward. The wine's earthy undertones and vibrant freshness are consistently highlighted, making it a classic choice for Sangiovese enthusiasts.

Voss Experts4.0

This beloved Italian red is a classic example of a Chianti Classico Riserva from the Fèlsina Berardenga estate. The nose is full of ripe red fruit, along with notes of forest floor and leather, while the palate has a beautiful balance of savory and sweet, with a bright acidity and intense flavors of cherry, raspberry, and spice. The finish is long and complex, with hints of earth and oak. Enjoy this wine with a variety of savory pasta dishes or with a plate of aged Parmigiano.
