According to The Wall Street Journal readers, our Chianti Classico is one of the top 5 Best Everyday Wines to stock at home: “far from ordinary”.
Come visit this perfect farm in Tuscany and experience the magic that nature offers: the vineyards, olive trees, the woods. Discover the fascination of the old cellar and its striking barrel room, enter the places where our wines age and are prepared for bottling.
The “no frills” Tuscan farm: vineyards, olive groves, woods, row garden, goats, hens, quail, ducks, guinea fowl. Fèlsina concluded, on 7 March 2015, its conversion period to organic agriculture, as certified by ICEA, (Institute for Ethical and Environmental Certification).
ORGANIC does not just concern agricultural production, it is also a philosophical approach.

FONTALLORO IGT Supertuscan
Wine Enthusiast 92 pts. Vintage 2017*
Aromas of leather, camphor, underbrush and violet form the nose. The linear, medium-bodied palate shows tart cherry, orange zest and tobacco alongside grainy tannins that leave a rather drying finish. Kerin O’Keefe.
Falstaff 95 pts. Vintage 2018*
Sparkling ruby with a fine garnet tongue. Appealing, complex nose with notes of tobacco, plums and raspberries. Flows balanced and harmonious on the palate, lots of fine-meshed tannins, clearly worked out fruit, shows full pressure again in the finale, long finish.
