Opaque dark red black tinged colour with a very dark red hue. The nose displays good intensity with aromas of dark and dried cherries laced with fresh herbs followed by old vanillin cedar, earth and spice. Rich yet elegant and quite rustic the palate dishes up flavours of dark cherries, dried herbs, earth, dried cherries, old cedar, a touch of leather and spice. Dry chewy finish with firmish tannins. Long aftertaste of spice, dark and dried cherries, earth, dried herbs and leather.

Other Reviews….
Here is another highlight of the vintage. The 2013 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia is a dark, moody and sophisticated wine. It does not reveal itself immediately or in any obvious way. Instead, it doses out its intensity in careful measurements. The whole performance is seductive to say the least. That slow momentum leads to dark cherry with spice, grilled herb, wet earth and dried rose. Felsina's Riserva Rancia is a very elegant wine, both on the nose and in the mouth. Drink 2018-2035.
