Territory and wine style

The designation is IGT Toscana and the grapes come from the vineyards Rancia Piccola and Poggiolo, areas chosen by Fèlsina to best enhance the identity of Cabernet Sauvignon in the Tuscan hilly context. The harvest is manual and the vineyard management follows a careful and selective approach, with yields and management designed to prioritize quality and expressive precision. The vinification aims for a rich and layered profile, with a long aging in French oak barrels that contributes to defining a broad, mature, and well-integrated sip.

The structure is evident, the persistence is long, and the finish leaves a broad aftertaste, a sign of a wine built to offer depth and gustatory continuity.
