The story
The modern history of the estate took shape in 1966 when Domenico Poggiali purchased the property and began a quality-focused renewal. In the following years the Poggiali family, with the support of winemaking consultants and technicians, developed the vineyards and introduced new winemaking techniques; from the 1980s and 1990s emerged the selections that defined flagship wines such as Fontalloro, Rancia and Colonia.
Production philosophy
Production focused on enhancing native Sangiovese through massal selections, respect for the land and agricultural practices that preserve biodiversity. The estate combines tradition and innovation in the vineyard and cellar, with a focus on traceability and dedicated projects for olive oil as well.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate is located on the southeastern edge of the Chianti Classico appellation, in the municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga, in a transition zone toward the Crete Senesi and the Ombrone valley. The soils are typically calcareous and comprised of laminated marls with sandstone layers, which contribute to the wines' character. The entire property covers extensive grounds, with a portion dedicated to vineyards; the estate uses multiple crus and on-site microclimates to differentiate its labels.
Awards and recognition
Fèlsina's wines, particularly the Vin Santo and the Sangiovese selections, have received recognition and high scores in international publications and positive mentions and ratings in specialist outlets such as Falstaff and Wine-Searcher.
