“Instead of a fruity, woody bomb, Fèlsina opted for refinement and balance,” summarize Bastianich and Lynch in the essential “Vino Italiano, The Regional Wines of Italy”. The unbeatable duo of Giuseppe Mazzocolin, a former professor of Greek and Latin, and the fantastic winemaker Franco Bernabei have been focusing on Sangiovese, to the detriment of international varieties, since the early 1980s. Fontalloro was one of the first 100% Sangiovese Super Tuscans, launched in 1983, and has been a Tuscan icon ever since. For those who love ultra-traditional Chianti, the Poggiali family also produces the classic Pagliarese on another dream estate.
Wine:
The Rancia vineyard takes its name from the historic Rancia farm, once a Benedictine monastery. Located in Castelnuovo Berardenga, at altitudes between 400 and 420 meters, it has a refined southwest-facing exposure. The soil is composed of classic alberese derived from limestone from the Castelnuovo Berardenga area and by galestro in some areas. The wine ages in new oak barrels for 18-20 months.
