Update: 12/4: Our load of the Felsina full bottles sold out almost immediately upon release on Tuesday. The demand was outrageous! The 750ml's are a thing of the past for this great wine, but we did just receive a total of 120 HALF BOTTLES that are sure to go fast. This time of year.. this wine.. and this 375ml size, we could have an even better gift on our hands than the 750mls! Get em quick!
"There is not too much more I can say about the wines of Felsina and proprietor Giuseppe Mazzocolin, except that they are reference point wines for anyone who wants to discover the essence of contemporary Sangiovese from Chianti Classico." -The Wine Advocate | 92 points"Subtle and delicious" -Wine Spectator | 91 Points The 2005 Fèlsina is an unbelievable opportunity that is sure to please even the most scrutinizing of Italian wine lovers. This is pure class, ripe and powerful yet elegant and pure in flavor. A true gem! For today only we are knocking down our deep savings of 33% to a staggering 40% off on the last 36 bottles. This is an "act fast" offer that is sure to sell out! "The 2005 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia is a beautifully fresh, perfumed version of this wine. It reveals a lovely core of ripe red fruit intermingled with sweet toasted oak and a winsome, attractive personality. Although the 2005 shows outstanding balance, clarity and finesse for the vintage, it remains relatively small-scaled Rancia. Still, its notable freshness should allow it to age gracefully for a decade or so. I would purchase the 2005 to drink over the mid-term, while waiting for the superlative 2004 to come around. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020." -The Wine Advocate | 92 Points "Exhibits pleasant fresh blackberry, citrus and cedar character on a medium body, with a clean fruit and mineral finish. Clean and tasty, with a long, succulently fruity aftertaste. Subtle and delicious" - Wine Spectator | 91 Points |
