Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia Felsina

Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia della Felsina is a highly prestigious wine produced in the Chianti Classico area, located between the provinces of Florence and Siena in Tuscany. The Chianti Classico area is characterized by rolling hills, limestone soils and a Mediterranean climate conducive to growing vines. The Felsina vineyards are located at an altitude between 350 and 420 meters above sea level, and are mainly exposed to the southwest. The grapes used to make Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia are mainly Sangiovese, with a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon, from vines over 30 years old. These old vines give the wine a unique complexity and depth. The production process begins with manual harvesting of the grapes, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Next, the wine is aged in oak barrels of varying capacities for at least 18 months, followed by an additional 6 months in bottle before release. Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia della Felsina is distinguished by its elegance, complexity and structure. Notes of ripe red fruits, spices and balsamic nuances can be perceived on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, with soft tannins and a long lingering finish. This wine pairs perfectly with Tuscan dishes such as Fiorentina steak, game, aged cheeses and mushroom dishes. It is a wine that lends itself well to aging, reaching its full expression after a few years in the bottle.
