Description

The Felsina Metodo Classico Brut sparkling wine represents an excellence in the production of Italian sparkling wines following the rigorous "Metodo Classico". This technique, also known as the Champenoise Method, involves a second fermentation in the bottle, which gives the wine its fine and persistent bubbles that are loved by connoisseurs around the world.

This sparkling wine is characterized by its bright straw-yellow color with greenish reflections, typical of a careful selection of grapes. The bubbles are fine, lively, and incessant, creating a delicate and charming perlage to the eye.

On the nose, the Brut by Felsina offers a complex and seductive bouquet. Notes of fresh fruit like green apple and peach are intertwined with nuances of yeast and bread crust, a result of an extended maturation on the lees. These aromatic features lead to a balanced palate, where clean acidity and freshness are well countered by a slight creaminess. The finish is clean, with a pleasant aftertaste of dried fruit and minerals that invites another sip.

The Felsina Metodo Classico Brut sparkling wine is perfect as an aperitif, but also has the structure to accompany light appetizers, seafood, or fish-based dishes. It is undoubtedly a wine that offers a sophisticated experience, which is reflected in both taste and aroma, suitable for special occasions or a classy toast.

Winery history

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 recognitions

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.
