WINE DESCRIPTION
The Fèlsina Colonia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione stands at the pinnacle of the estate's offerings, representing a meticulous selection of the finest Sangiovese grapes from the esteemed Colonia vineyard within the Chianti Classico region. This Gran Selezione, a category reserved for Chianti Classico of the highest quality, showcases the depth and complexity achievable in this storied appellation. The Colonia vineyard, characterized by its unique alberese and galestro soils and mature vines, imparts a distinctive minerality and concentration to the wine. Extended aging in French oak barrels imbues the Fèlsina Colonia with a harmony of tannin and texture, resulting in a wine that is both noble and profound, embodying the highest expression of Fèlsina's winemaking philosophy.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Fèlsina Colonia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione enchants the senses with a deep ruby color and a seductive aroma of dark cherries, blackcurrant, and violet florals, layered with nuances of tobacco, leather, and Mediterranean herbs.The palate is rewarded with a stunning balance between muscular structure and elegance, where flavors of concentrated red and black fruits intermingle with earthy truffle, licorice, and a well-integrated oak spice. The texture is opulent yet refined, with polished tannins and a lively acidity that leads to an aristocratic finish, long and resonant with a delightful mineral edge. It is a wine that simultaneously celebrates the heritage of Chianti Classico and the innovation of Gran Selezione, destined to evolve gracefully for decades.
