Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 87.8 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by FastTrack on 6/27/2020 & rated 85 points: Soft golden color, warm taste of cooked apples and vanilla, vanilla, vanilla. on the palate - creamy density. Too much barrique - at least for me. Some say it will get better over time - let's see (399 views)
 Tasted by jh773 on 1/15/2020 & rated 88 points: The nose has honeycomb, jasmine, rambutan, quince marmalade, a strong wintergreen and bubblegum note. Gobs of body with a strong creamy almond character. There is pronounced acidity and a long succulent finish. A bold take on chardonnay, and in my opinion best enjoyed sooner rather than later.

 Tasted by Harley1199 on 12/19/2019: By the glass. Mixture of tropical and citrus notes, that is, heavy and very acidic. Better in the mouth because although it has a density is compensated by a good acid and it also has some mineral touches that give it length and a delicious aftertaste. It is not the kind of chardo that goes away but I recognize some class here.

Por copas. Mezcla de notas tropicales y cítricas, es decir, pesado y bien ácido. Mejor en boca porque aunque tiene una densidad ni buen compensada también presenta unos toques minerales que le confieren longitud y un delicioso postgusto. No es el tipo de chardo que me va pero reconozco cierta clase. (604 views)
 Tasted by Mr. Montrachet on 8/29/2019 & rated 90 points: Rare flowers and grass, speculatius, nutmeg & christmas spices. Bitter orange, vanilla - strange seductive mixture. Exotic. Acidity good for some More years, try in 2021+ (566 views)
 Tasted by Grochol on 6/13/2019 & rated 88 points: Nose: peach, orange rind, nuts, brioche, oak spices
Taste: medium bodied, medium acidity, peach, lemon, nuts, caramel, hint of coffee in the long finish, oily, fairly complex (529 views)

Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga

Producer Location (Google Maps)

This historic estate, which dates to the Middle Ages, was purchased by current owner Giuseppe Mazzocolin's father-in-law, Domenico Poggiali, in 1966. Winemaker Franco Bernabei draws on vines more than 50 years old from three vineyards-Fontalloro in Chianti Classico and the Casalino and Arcidossino vineyards in Chianti Colle Senesi-for this red. Because it straddles two DOCG zones, the wine is classified as Indicazione Geo-grafica Tipica (IGT). After fermentation, it was aged in barriques for 20 months.
