ORGANICALLY FARMED
100% Sangiovese
Over the years, the wines of Tuscan winery, Felsina, have been a staple at Hi-Time Wine Cellars by wowing us with their consistent quality across the range and vintages. Domenico Poggiali was taking a big risk starting the winery in 1966 when the market for serious Chianti was nowhere near what it is today, but that helped earn them a place at the top: building a reputation bit by bit over the decades, employing the highest quality of winemaking available even when it was uncertain that it would be profitable. It doesn't hurt that they ultimately employed one of the top Italian winemaking consultants, Franco Bernabei, who played a pivotal role in the Tuscan wine renaissance!
For the Chianti Classico, the new wine goes into medium-size Slavonian oak barrels in Spring, with a small percentage going into twice- and thrice-used oak barrels; after 12 months of maturation, the final blend is assembled and bottled.
