Millésima-usa.com : « Felsina is one of the great estates of Tuscany and focuses exclusively on Sangiovese, without blending in other grapes, for all their red wines. 'Rancia' comes from a single vineyard in the commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga, located in the south of the Chianti Classico zone nearer Siena. The grapes are hand harvested, destemmed and fermented with automatic 'punching down' of the cap of skins in tank. The wine is matured in barriques and in larger casks for 12 to 18 months. The 2001 Rancia is a classic expression of its type. The nose is intense with wild red fruits (cherry and currant) intermingled with notes of wood, spice and mineral while on the palate the wine is concentrated and focused a firm backbone of acidity and tannin. Will age easily to 2012-2016. »

Robert Parker : « The 2007 Chianti Classico Riserva comes across as quite dark and
brooding in its black fruits, spices and oak. It shows good length but
the open personality of the vintage is nowhere to be found.
Castello di Querceto is a fascinating
property. The estate produces a number of single-vineyard wines. At
their best, the wines can be fabulous, but the estate’s Achilles heel is
consistency. Frankly, in top vintages such as 2006 and 2007 all of the
wines should be of a certain level. »
