Felsina Berardegna
Felsina Berardegna
Fèlsina Berardenga is a 470-hectare estate northeast of Siena, in the commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga on the southern border of Chianti Classico. Fèlsina epitomises the powerful style of southern Chianti, where their wines are stylistically more akin to those from Montalcino than their fellow Chianti producers Fontodi or Isole e Olena. Giuseppe Mazzocolin ran the estate from the end of the 1970s until 2011. He is now less involved in the day-to-day management, while consultant oenologist Franco Bernabei heads up the winemaking team and crafts wonderful Chianti; from Classico to Riserva, as well as deliciously sweet Vin Santo.
