Fèlsina
About Fèlsina
Fèlsina got its start during a very challenging time for Italian viticulture. Founded in 1966 when Domenico Poggiali bought the estate and invested heavily in the quality of the wine and in assembling a talented, innovative young team. Felsina is at the forefront of fighting against monoculture in the region, and their estate includes woods, olive groves and streams, smaller fields for cultivated and wild herbs and medicinal plants like alfalfa, sorghum, millet, sunflower, field beans; all contributing to the preservation of biodiversity. The Wine is clearly the beneficiary and Felsina has built a deserved reputation for excellence in recent years, all while remaining in the hands of the Poggiali family for almost 60 years.

Wine Advocate (98+)The 2016 Fontalloro is the best vintage of this landmark wine that I have tasted thus far. This is a very elegant vintage, with more volume in the mouth and precise notes of tar, licorice, camphor ash, resin and Indian spice. In a race between the highly competitive 2015 and 2016 vintages, I give a slight advantage to this wine. The warmer 2015 vintage shows more richness and exuberant fruit. However, this wine from 2016 offers a more focused and chiseled delivery. I am hopeful that this wine will continue to evolve and sharpen as it ages in the bottle. This is a beautiful wine to put aside in your cellar for ten years or more. |
