Felsina Beradenga Chianti Classico Rancia Riserva 2013 (Magnum 1.5L)  - First Bottle

Reviews

96 Vinous -
A huge, vibrant wine, the 2013 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia will need at least a few years in bottle to be approachable and much more than that to be at its best. Huge swaths of tannin give the wine its energy and feel. The essence of Sangiovese from Castelnuovo Berardenga comes through loud and clear. Readers should expect an especially virile, potent Rancia in 2013.
95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
Here is another highlight of the vintage. The 2013 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia is a dark, moody and sophisticated wine. It does not reveal itself immediately or in any obvious way. Instead, it doses out its intensity in careful measurements. The whole performance is seductive to say the least. That slow momentum leads to dark cherry with spice, grilled herb, wet earth and dried rose. Felsina's Riserva Rancia is a very elegant wine, both on the nose and in the mouth.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
WHAT?!! I'm still not sure how we got our hands on a few of these beauties! YAHOO! These were held back by the importer for a few select Italian restaurants in San Francisco and were released last week and we jumped at the opportunity to add these to the mix here at First Bottle. These won't last long. You savvy Italian-philes will be jumping on this perfectly aged 96 point Chianti from one of our all-time favs, Felsina.

About the Producer

It was 1966 when Domenico Poggiali Felsina took the courageous leap and bought the estate at a time when Italian viticulture was struggling. In the second half of the 1970s Giuseppe Mazzocolin entered the family business paving the way for the beginnings of their international recognition. Their friendship with Luigi Veronelli and collaboration with oenologist Franco Bernabei shaped a developmental strategy that has proven itself extremely coherent, starting with the wines of 1983, the first year of Fontalloro and of Rancia. With Domenico and Giuseppe Poggiali at the helm, an extraordinary development began which, since 1990, also includes Giovanni Poggiali, the oldest of Giuseppe's three sons.
