Antonio Galloni

"The 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva shows the pedigree of this important vintage in its complex, multi-faceted personality. A wine of nuance and layers, the 2021 has so much to offer. Black cherry, leather, spice, tobacco, menthol, licorice and game are all amplified in this super-classic Riserva from Fèlsina." —Antonio Galloni

"In the bottle with the black label, the Fèlsina 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva Berardenga is shaped by ripe fruit, slate-like mineral notes and toasted oak. There is a charred element of campfire ash or spent ember that surrounds a core of blackberry and black cherry. The oak element is a little too much, especially at this young stage in the wine's life." —Monica Larner

Decanter

"In the southeastern confines of the denomination, the Fèlsina estate has been an unwavering proponent of 100% Sangiovese. Even the annata captures the wildness of this grape combined with the Mediterranean character of this warm and luminous corner of Chianti Classico. The 2021 starts with smoky nuances, earth and subtle oak, then progresses to fragrant mint and thyme. It is concentrated and ripe, yet balanced by freshness and agility. An underlying firmness releases gradually to reveal a savoury finish of sundried tomato."

"The core of cherry, pomegranate and raspberry fruit is detailed with Tuscan scrub, iron, vanilla and tobacco notes as this intense red builds in power to the expansive conclusion, where its fruit, mineral and wild herb flavors converge. Shows fine balance and length; this just needs time to absorb the oak." —Bruce Sanderson

Kerin O'Keefe

95 points

"Ripe dark-skinned fruit, juniper berry, iris and French oak aromas propel out of the glass on the radiant 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva from Felsina. Elegant and showing wonderful intensity, the palate features succulent Marasca cherry, cassis, star anise and oak-driven sensations alongside firm, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it balanced. This is still young so give it a few more years to fully develop." —Kerin O'Keefe
