Malvasia and Trebbiano with 20% Sangiovese are air dried on mats until the following February. The wine spends seven years in small casks and fermentation is encouraged by the ‘mother’ deposits of the previous vintages. This is slightly oxidative with scents of ripe peach, prune, cinnamon, figs and apricot. Although this is concentrated with a beautiful core of sweetness, the palate remains fresh and elegant.
Fèlsina's 2007 Vin Santo del Chianti Classico is terrific. Silky, expressive and gracious, the 2007 is all class. Orange zest, mint, cinnamon and dried flowers grace the palate. The aromatics are especially pretty in this midweight, lifted Vin Santo.
