Felsina fans are going to have a field day with these new releases. The 2011 Chianti Classico is a great choice for near-term drinking and by the glass pours, while the 2010 will satisfy the cravings of readers who enjoy sturdier cellar worthy Chiantis. The only wine that remains an enigma is the recently introduced Chianti Classico Riserva Colonia, which appears to still be a work in progress. For more historical perspective, readers may want to take a look at my complete vertical of the flagship Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia in our Archive.

Just when I thought I was familiar with the wines of Fèlsina, the estate comes through with one of the very best sets of new releases I have ever tasted. From top to bottom, these are marvelous wines that deserve serious attention. Proprietor Giuseppe Mazzocolin has stepped down from some of his day-to-day duties, but the wines are as good as they have ever been. Fèlsina fans might also enjoy the Rancia vertical published in Issue 201 from the one and only complete Rancia tasting ever staged.
