Bright crimson. Much broader and less concentrated than the Fontodi 2011. Quite tough and dry on the end. For the medium term, not now. (JR)

Readers on a budget will delight in Felsina's 2011 Chianti Classico. Supple, resonant and beautifully expressive, the 2011 is a clear overachiever. The style is a little juicier than in most vintages, but that is not such a bad thing for a wine meant to be enjoyed over the near and medium-term. Ripe red berries, cinnamon and freshly cut flowers are layered into the textured finish. What a fabulous wine!
The 2011 Chianti Classico is absolutely impressive and is one of the best base Chianti Classicos I have tasted from 2011. You feel the ripeness and heat of the vintage, but this wine also delivers surprising finesse and complexity. Black cherry and baking spice mingle on the bouquet. Soft tannins wrap around the palate. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. This is one of the nicest collections of new releases by Giuseppe Mazzocolin’s Felsina. At the edge of the Chianti Classico and Chianti Colli Senesi denominations, the estate counts 475 hectares, of which 61 are planted with vineyard.

Very dark and opaque. Herbal and sweet fruit. Muscular, slightly bitter grainy tannins. Only the merest hint of oak. An attractive, but rustic whole. Pretty much ready to drink. (WS)
