95 Points from Wine Spectator, James Suckling, and Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, if you're a fan of cellar worthy Italian reds, you don't want to miss this Chianti Classico Riserva from famed Fattoria di Felsina. Their elegant yet intensely flavored Chianti's place them firmly among the top handful of Italian wine producers, with the best vintages of their top Riservas often approaching Brunello di Montalcino in terms of complexity and potential for longevity. Such is the case for the 2020 vintage. Its aromatic intensity, definition and total sense of finesse is a dead ringer for a young Brunello di Montalcino! Antonio Galloni has called Felsina, "a marvelous wines that deserve serious attention" and "some of the most fairly priced, cellar worthy wines in the world." While we're waiting for the actual 2020 Brunellos to arrive, this is an absolute gem!

Wine Spectator: 95 Points

"Intense, with complex flavors of cherry, blackberry, violet, mineral and leafy underbrush, this red is silky and verges on racy. Harmonious and persistent, with a long, resonant aftertaste that echoes red fruit, mineral and savory elements. Best from 2025 through 2045. 1,800 cases imported." The Wine Spectator, 95 Points

Wine Advocate: 95 Points

"The Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia shows beautiful minerality with dusty notes of crushed limestone or flint. This is the wine's special signature, and it shines through in a warm vintage such as this. Rancia also offers an upfront quality of red and purple fruit tones. The 2020 vintage displays pretty concentration and richness with wild cherry and plum, but ultimately the wine leaves you with that elegant mineral sendoff." The Wine Advocate, 95 Points

James Suckling: 95 Points

"A polished and very refined Rancia with sweet berries, cedar and hints of chocolate. Medium body. Fresh and focused. A little reserved at the end. It needs two or three years to come around." James Suckling, 95 Points
