96 point Tuscan Cab 'Maestro Raro'+
Fèlsina Chianti Classico On Sale $23.99 +
Bonus Chianti $132/cs
Who doesn't love Tuscan wines??? We sure do!!! Our featured estate today is the exceptional Fattoria di Fèlsina located in the Chianti Classico zone. Considered by collectors to be in the league of Brunello di Montalcino, Fèlsina produces many of the most ageworthy, complex Chianti bottlings, with certified organic methods. Our first wine is the rare & singular Tuscan red called 'Maestro Raro', made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from 40 year old vines. Rich and velvety with excellent depth and character, this 2019 Cab will fully impress Super Tuscan, Brunello, Cabernet and Barolo lovers. Next up, Fèlsina's 'supple & strapping' Chianti Classico 2020 is made of 100% Sangiovese from the prized commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga. Their high altitude vineyards have soils of quartzitic blue-grey sandstone mixed with sand strata, calcareous alberese and alluvial pebbles giving this wine tons of complexity. Being able to both drink and hold this Chianti for up to 15 years makes it extra special at $23.99/bottle. And for a fun little bonus, we are including a new Chianti named Fattoria di Piazzano with 90 points from James Suckling for $10.99/bottle. Made by a brother and sister team (sound familiar?:) with organic methods on land used for winemaking dating back to Roman times.

RATED 96 WINE ADVOCATE : 'The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Maestro Raro is a lovely expression with deep layers of dark fruit and savory spice that are woven tightly together to form a solid core of primary and secondary flavors. This vintage is especially tight and concentrated, showing terrific balance and freshness and impeccable fruit ripeness that is generous and full. There are no green elements in this vintage. Instead, the fruit is beautifully rich and velvety.' |

RATED 92 JAMES SUCKLING : 'Plums, cherry stones, button mushrooms, white pepper and bark on the nose. Lemon and cardamom too. Medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and fine, powdery tannins. Savory. Drink now or hold.' 'The 2020 Chianti Classico Berardenga is a classic Fèlsina wine. It can be enjoyed now or cellared for 10- 15 years. Classic Fèlsina savory, floral and tobacco accents play off a core of sweet Sangiovese fruit. This heady, strapping wine has a ton to offer. Time in the glass brings out gorgeous aromatic presence.'
