Winemaker Notes
The wine appears a lovely antique rose with onion skin coppery highlights, enhanced by very leisurely bead of pin point bubbles. The bouquet is delicate and ultra-fragrant, releasing nuances of wild berry fruit, citrus, and rose petals. The palate, stylish and well balanced, gradually reveals a refreshing acidity, and concludes with a finish marked by redcurrant, sweet almond, and wild berryfruit.

James Suckling
A copper-colored sparkling with aromas of crushed raspberries, dried strawberries, cherry stones and roasted almonds. It’s medium-bodied with bright, zesty acidity and fine bubbles. Sleek, tight and fresh with excellent length and focus. Dry. Drink now.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Fèlsina NV Metodo Classico Brut Rosé (disgorged in June 2021) reveals a pale pink color with shiny highlights of gold and peach. This is a sharp, mineral-driven wine that feels linear and tight. Its crisp acidity is reinforced by crunchy apple, orchard fruit and a drop of sweet raspberry syrup. The beading is tight and firm.
In the 17 published editions of Gambero Rosso, Italy’s acclaimed wine rating guide, this Tuscan estate has won the coveted Tre Bicchieri (Three Glasses) award 17 times. They are a favorite of IWM, Robert Parker, and any Tuscan wine enthusiast. And they did it by revealing the true essence of the Sangiovese grape and the Chianti Classico terroir. What this tells us is that this is a winery of consistency, producing Chianti Classicos with the ability to age up to two decades for the right vintage. Much like the great Brunello estates, it is the marriage of an ideal microclimate and the uncompromising commitment of a dedicated staff that educes the full character of Tuscany's noble grape, even in off vintages. Even more importantly, this is a producer who creates compelling wines and releases them at contained prices, making Felsina accessible to all wine enthusiasts and one of Italy's greatest values!
