Felsina Rància Chianti Classico Riserva Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG

Rància is Fèlsina's flagship wine — a single-vineyard cuvée from the heart of Chianti Classico, which shows what Sangiovese can achieve on barren Galestro rock.

The winery is located southeast of Siena in Castelnuovo Berardenga, one of the warmest areas of Chianti Classico. Since the 1980s, Fèlsina has established the Riserva-Rância as a distinct vineyard site—long before single vineyards became fashionable again in Tuscany. The grapes ripen on calcareous Galestro soil, which contributes to the wine's firm structure and pronounced minerality.

In the glass, it displays a dark ruby ​​red with a hint of garnet. The nose offers ripe black cherry, blackberry, and a distinct undertone of leather, tobacco, and rosemary—typical of mature Sangiovese from this region. On the palate, firm but well-integrated tannins, lively acidity, and a long finish with notes of dark chocolate and dried lavender. The Riserva aging in oak barrels gives the wine additional depth without masking the fruit.

Drinking window: now until 2032. Best served at 17–18 °C. Pairs well with Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar salami, mature Pecorino cheese, or pasta with wild boar ragù.
