Fèlsina

This 470-hectare estate is located northeast of Siena in the commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga, on the southern border of the Chianti Classico zone. Fèlsina epitomises the powerful style of southern Chianti, where the wines are stylistically more akin to those from Montalcino than their fellow Chianti from Fontodi or Isole e Olena. Domenico Poggiali bought the estate in 1966 and in 1990 his grandson Giovanni joined the management and continues his grandfather's enterprise. Consultant oenologist Franco Bernabei is at the helm of the winemaking team.
