Felsina Berardenga Chianti Classico 2005

The Berardenga district, in southeast Chianti Classico, is mirrored in the Chianti Classico Berardenga, a monovarietal Sangiovese. The grapes are sourced as well from the vineyards of the Paglierese wine estate on the northwest border of Felsina, where the average vineyard age is over 30 years.

"Felsina's 2005 Chianti Classico offers perfumed, spiced red fruit on a medium-bodied frame, with excellent length and lovely overall balance. Year in year out Felsina's Chianti Classico is a reference point wine for the region. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2010."
