Felsina, 2024
Chardonnay 'I Sistri' 2024
Chardonnay 'I Sistri' 2024
The grapes for the I Sistri are hand-picked, and after pressing, fermentation takes place in barrique. The I Sistri has a beautiful, straw-yellow color and aromas of stone and tropical fruit, herbs, and an integrated hint of vanilla. Creamy and exceptionally well-balanced by the fresh acidity and its intense fruit expression. James Suckling awarded this wine 93/100 points.

Fèlsina's main production is located on the southern edge of the Chianti Classico area, in Castelnuovo Berardenga, where a number of typical Sangiovese-based wines are produced. From the Chianti Classico and Riserva, to the Tre Bicchieri-awarded Rancia and Fontalloro. A second part of their viticulture is located slightly further south, still within the Chianti zone, near Sinalunga in Castello di Farnetella, where a Chianti is also produced.
In addition to Sangiovese-based wines, this winery also produces several excellent wines from non-local grape varieties, including IGT Maestro Raro and I Sistri. It is a winery that pays a great deal of attention to modern techniques, but without losing sight of tradition.
Grandson Giovanni Poggiali confirms the family's conviction that the social aspect makes up a very large part of terroir. He can say this because he has been involved in the process of planting and replanting the vineyards for 25 years. The choice to vinify pure Sangiovese is not only geological in nature, but very much based on tradition.
