The Story
The Rancia Chianti Classico Riserva, denomination Chianti Classico Riserva Docg, is a cru from Tuscany, first vintage 1983. It is a red wine made from a single blend, pure Sangiovese, whose Rancia grape variety takes its name from the ancient farm of the same name, built on the pre-existing site of a Benedictine monastery and purchased in the 1960s by the Poggiali family, from whose vision the Felsina winery was born. The production area is precisely Poggio a Rancia in the Sienese municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga, located in the southern part of the Chianti Classico area. The vines are trained using the espalier system, with spurred cordon pruning. The planting density is 5,400 vines per hectare, which grow in the highest part of the area, in the suitable hilly area, at an altitude of 350-400 meters above sea level. The terroir that determines the organoleptic characteristics of Rancia Chianti Classico Riserva is defined by the typical Chianti substrates, the alberese limestone and the galestro schist, by a very bright exposure, and by a climate characterised by cold winters and milder summers, but with defined daily temperature variations. The grape harvest is carried out exclusively by hand in the first ten days of October. After crushing and destemming, it undergoes fermentation at a controlled temperature (28-30°C) and subsequent maceration in steel tanks, with automatic punch-down and daily pumping over. The following spring, the wine begins its maturation in two stages in French oak barrels for 18-20 months, and then concludes its refinement in bottle for at least 6-8 months before being released for sale.
