Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga
Riserva Rancia Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend
Fully complete Rancia bottling; beautifully secondary with dried red fruits and figs. Slight pliancy keeps some of its sex appeal at almost 20 years

1 person found it helpfulNov 27th, 2016Perfectly mature! On the nose, I found dried cherry, undergrowth, dried flowers, smoke, and minerals. Feminine, resolved and earthy on the palate, graining flesh and richness with time in the glass. Dried cherry, inner floral tones and minerals saturated the senses. Leather, dried cherry and floral tones lingered long.
