Felsina Chianti Classico Berardenga Riserva 2022

Felsina Chianti Classico Berardenga Riserva 2022 is a classically styled Sangiovese that captures the depth, structure, and elegance of Tuscany’s southern Chianti Classico zone. As a Riserva from one of the region’s most respected producers, it offers a refined expression of Berardenga terroir, balancing ripe fruit with savoury complexity and firm aging potential.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright ruby color with flashes of garnet at the rim. The nose is precise and expressive, with red cherry, wild strawberry, violet, dried herbs, and a subtle mineral or earthy note that adds depth. On the palate, expect fresh acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a layered profile of red berries, sour cherry, spice, tobacco, and a touch of cedar or leather as it opens. The wine’s structure suggests excellent aging potential, and while it can be enjoyed young with proper aeration, it is likely to develop greater complexity over the next 8–12 years.

Production
Produced from Sangiovese grown in the Berardenga area of Chianti Classico, the wine benefits from a warm but well-balanced Tuscan terroir with limestone, clay, and stony soils that help preserve freshness and definition. Felsina is known for careful vineyard selection and meticulous harvesting, typically aiming for optimal ripeness without losing the grape’s natural acidity. Vinification focuses on expressing purity of fruit and site character, with aging in wood to build texture, complexity, and the traditional structure expected of a Riserva.

Food & Serving
This wine is a natural match for Tuscan cuisine, especially bistecca alla fiorentina, roast lamb, game, wild boar ragù, and mushroom-based pasta dishes. It also pairs beautifully with aged hard cheeses such as Pecorino. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if drinking in its youth, to allow the aromas and tannins to open fully.
