There, where the soils become sandy and stony and the sun burns longer, Sangiovese grapes ripen to a density that can only be understood in the Gran Selezione format after a long aging period in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Fèlsina has been one of the leading wineries in Tuscany since the 1980s. It\u0026#39;s not a showy operation, but rather a focus on consistent work in the vineyard: low yields, selective hand-harvesting, and extended maceration. The Colonia matures in French oak barrels before resting for several more months in the bottle—the vintage determines when it is released.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, it shines a deep ruby ​​red. The nose reveals blackberry and plum, along with rosemary, bay leaf, and a hint of iron ore. On the palate, a firm yet silky tannin structure supports the fruit, while the acidity keeps everything in balance. The finish is long and spicy, with a mineral aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDrinking window:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025–2033.
