...opened beautifully to show rich and profound fruit with some of those earthy and dusty limestone aromas that are so specific to this labor-intensive farming site on a remote hilltop.
...delivers a whole range of Sangiovese aromas and flavors with tremendous intensity and grace. Sweet red cherry, rose petal, cedar, tobacco and earthy notes all grace this exquisite, wonderfully expressive edition of Fèlsina's Gran Selezione.
Lots of cherry and vanilla aromas and flavors with a full body, dense and structured center palate and a long, flavorful finish. Shows blue fruit and dried flowers at the end.
Aromas of underbrush, fragrant blue flowers, French oak and baked plum take shape in the glass. On the elegant, lithe palate, taut, fine-grained tannins accompany dried cherry, licorice, vanilla, coconut and orange zest before finishing on an espresso note.
...smoky element overlaying the macerated cherry and plum notes in this broad, solidly structured red. There is a feeling of fluidity, but also intensity and a sense that this is holding back. Well-proportioned and long, with an aftertaste of tobacco and mineral.
Really intense, luxurious nose. A hint of dark chocolate. This is like a cross between a Chianti Classico and a right-bank classed-growth claret!
