Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia 2020: the elegant expression of Felsina

Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia 2020 DOCG by Felsina is a Tuscan red wine of great personality, made from 100% Sangiovese and linked to one of the most representative vineyards of the denomination. It is born from selected grapes in the Rancia area, in Castelnuovo Berardenga, and interprets the character of the Chianti Classico territory with a rigorous and authentic style.

Territory and wine style

The Rancia vineyard is located in the highest and most suitable part of the area, between 350 and 400 meters above sea level, on limestone soils rich in alberese and galestro, elements that help define a tense, sapid, and territorial profile. The harvest is manual and generally takes place in the first decade of October, confirming a quest for the full ripeness of the grapes. The result is a Chianti Classico Riserva with a classic cut, deep and harmonious, capable of uniting structure, freshness, and aromatic finesse.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a ruby red of good intensity. On the nose, spicy aromas emerge, floral notes, and hints of small red and black fruits, enriched by mineral nuances and a slight toasted finish. On the palate, the wine is straight and tight, with an engaging, flavorful sip supported by a lively acidic line. The tannins are young, present, and well-perceived, but already harmonious in their consistency. The finish is persistent and leaves a clear sensation of elegance and tension.

Recommended pairings

This Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia 2020 pairs easily with structured dishes from Tuscan and Italian cuisine. It is ideal with grilled red meats, roasts, braised dishes, game, lamb, and flavorful baked preparations. Excellent also with rich first courses, meat ragù, pappardelle with wild boar, and aged cheeses, where freshness and tannin help balance the rich and intense component of the dish.

Serving temperature

Serve the wine at a temperature between 16 and 18 °C. If opened in advance, it can benefit from a few minutes of oxygenation in the glass or decanter, allowing it to best express its aromatic profile and tannic structure. It is the right choice for those looking for a characterful red that can accompany the meal well without losing momentum.
