Note di degustazione
100% Sangiovese, aged in medium-sized Slavonian oak, with a small percentage in small, used barrels. Mid ruby with bricky rim. Meaty, gently leathery red fruit. Sweet oak caress on the palate, relatively light overall and with a fresh tangy red-fruited finish. (JH)

Fèlsina's 2013 Chianti Classico Berardenga shows a great level of richness and general intensity. The wine reveals a very full and luscious set of aromas with cherry and blackberry in pole position. Lighter tones of spice and tobacco fill in at the back and give the wine a greater sense of aromatic lift. The mouthfeel is also characterized by velvety richness. Look out for this delicious vintage.
The 2013 Chianti Classico Berardenga is one of the richest, darkest versions of this wine I can remember tasting. Black cherries, game, smoke, tar, leather and soy are some of the notes that take shape in the glass. The 2013 is wild, savory and surprisingly dense, raw and unformed for an entry-level wine. Accordingly, the 2013 is going to require more patience than is the norm, but it also has the potential to overachieve over the near and medium term. All the house signatures are very much alive here.
Mid crimson. Full concentration on the nose, yet mediumd-bodied, fragrant fruit on the palate with wonderful, chewy tannins. Elegant much more than powerful and wants food. (WS)
