Rancia Riserva, Felsina 2019

Felsina

Case Format: 6x75cl

The Rancia vineyard takes its name from the historic Rancia farmhouse, once a Benedictine monastery. Located in Castelnuovo Berardenga at elevations ranging between 400 and 420 metres it has a fine southwest-facing exposure. Ruby red appearance with rich, intense tones. Spicy nose with floral notes and hints of wild berry (red and black), accompanied by mineral impressions and light toasted notes. Spice re-appears on the palate, which displays firm but supple tannins, and the finale is vigorous and taut. Overall, the wine is compelling for its flavour-rich mid-palate and supporting acidity.

Amplified even further is the 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia, which offers up a musky cologne of cedar, cherry licorice, cracked pepper, and menthol. It is medium to full bodied, with a rich tannin structure, a broad mid-palate, and a long, fragrant finish. This will certainly be a wine that needs time in cellar and will continue to improve over the coming 10-15 years. Drink 2025-2040.

Rancia is Fèlsina’s 6.25ha vineyard. It looks southwest toward the region of Montalcino and is bathed in balmy breezes from the sea beyond. The soil is rocky - prominently limestone-rich Alberese with Galestro marl. The 2019 transmits all the warmth of the site at a remarkably balanced 13.5% alcohol. Still wrapped up in toasted oak, it takes some coaxing to get to the ripe, rich prune and baked cherry. Lush and full, it effortlessly soaks up its solid structure and generous wood. Leather, anise and iron lace the palate and it closes with a drying sensation. Another year or so in the bottle is recommended.
