Chianti Classico Rancia Gran Selezione 2018 Vintage Overview

2018 OVERVIEW

Lifted aromas of black cherry, wild herbs and violets introduce the 2018 Fattoria di Felsina Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia, which shows a poised, medium-bodied frame with impressive depth.

The finish is long, sapid and refined, promising even greater nuance with time in the cellar.
