Fèlsina is synonymous with Chianti Classico. The vineyards from which the grapes used for this elegant red wine come are located in Castelnuovo Berardenga, in the south-eastern part of the Chianti Classico area. Oriented almost exclusively to the south-west to enjoy the warmest and most intense sun, they extend between 320 and 420 metres above sea level. Rather heterogeneous soils which, together with the different exposures and the high slope of the vineyards, force the winery technicians to make several passages during the harvest. The harvest, however, always takes place within the first three weeks of October. Fermentation at controlled temperature, the entire maceration process takes place in steel tanks and lasts for about two weeks, with automatic punching down and daily pumping over. Maturation in Slavonian oak barrels of medium capacity and, in part, in second and third passage barriques. All for a period of about 12 months. Blending and bottling follow. Ruby red in colour with good intensity, the nose reveals a fruity, fine and elegant bouquet where undergrowth fruit predominates, accompanied by hints of spices. In the mouth it confirms the fruity soul, with a right tannicity and a persistent aftertaste.
The history of Fèlsina began in 1966, when Domenico Poggiali bought the farm and chose to invest in the quality of the wine. In the space of a few years, the number of hectares under vine grew to more than forty and the soul and organisation of the company changed. Located between the last offshoots of the Chianti mountains and the initial part of the Ombrone valley, today Fèlsina covers an area of about 600 hectares, 95 of which are vineyards. It produces vines capable of expressing the different particularities of the terroir of this corner of Tuscany. After all, the Fèlsina estates, developed over more than a thousand years, still constitute the basic cultivation unit of the work. And the main concern is the defence of the natural fertility of the soil, which is safeguarded by working in a context of experimentation that ranges from biodynamics to the most modern technologies and innovations made available worldwide. Thanks to this mentality, today at Fèlsina there are various clones of Sangiovese and rootstocks planted in very heterogeneous territories. This allows the winery's technicians to have, like painters, a palette of infinite shades and possibilities. In addition, there are woods, cereal fields, olive groves, scrub, ditches and streams, and the smaller fields of the hunting reserve cultivated with alfalfa, sainfoin, sorghum, sunflowers and field beans. Everything contributes to the preservation of biodiversity.
