Fèlsina, Rancia 2019 – Chianti Classico Riserva

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose offers concentration, accuracy and freshness. It expresses notes of fresh fruit (red cherry, morello cherry, raspberry, strawberry, cranberries, a touch of blackcurrant and blueberry), the intense and pleasant herbaceous hint, which appears after aeration (fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, bay leaf), aromas of sweet spices (ground cumin, nutmeg, cloves, licorice), as well as nuances of dried flowers (dried rose, violet, dried cornflower). There is also a touch of dried mint and dried pine needles. On the palate, the wine offers juiciness, freshness and airiness. It expresses notes of tangy bigarreau cherry, crunchy strawberry, raspberry, cranberries, fresh blackcurrant, combined with herbaceous notes (fresh thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, dried peppermint), spiciness (liquorice, white pepper, ground cumin, nutmeg) and floral bouquet (dried rose, violet), with a racy minerality in the background. The tannins are grippy, but fine and enveloped. Beautiful salivating acidity, a pleasant bitterness on the finish (cranberries and a bitter touch and smoke of bergamot). Beautiful balance overall, freshness and gourmandise.
