Felsina Berardenga Rancia Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2016 Review

There is dark depth to this wine. There is also a nice mineral edge. The balance between the two makes for a very smooth and balanced wine. It smells like salty plums and fresh picked raspberries, with a little waft of dried leaves and mint. The moderate natural acidity breaks the density, lifting the wine just enough on the palate
