Colonia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2019
Colonia Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2019
An impressive and refined wine, made from the Sangiovese grape with a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon. This Chianti Classico has deep aromas of ripe red fruit, spices, violets, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is powerful and well-structured, with smooth tannins and a long, elegant finish.

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.
