The 2021 Felciaino is named for the red ferns of the region and is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc that spent one year in used barrique, 2-, 3-, and 4-year barrels. Although it qualifies as a Bolgheri Superiore, Chiappini essentially declassifies it to reserve that designation for their top bottling. It pours a rich but transparent red and reveals a balanced but oak-influenced perfume, with notes of cedar, sweet baking spices, red plum, black raspberry, turned soil, and fennel. Medium-bodied, it's ripe but light on its feet, with soft, well-integrated tannins and a clean finish. Elegant and charming to drink, it will likely benefit from another year in bottle to soften its oak presence and will do well over the next 6-8 years. I love this for its versatility and freshness.
