The Chiappini family are truly one of the Bolgheri region’s best kept secrets! They are a small, family wine business, 100% organic, producing top quality red and white wines at a fraction of the price of some of their more illustrious neighbours. The location of their vineyards is impeccable: directly next to Ornellaia and opposite Le Macchiole!
Produced from a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Sangiovese, this smooth, full bodied red was aged in used oak barrels for 1 year to give spicy complexity but no obvious “oaky” flavours. Ripe and richly fruited, with velvet smooth tannins, effortless balance and freshness, this is a wine you want to drink several glasses of! The 2019 vintage was excellent in Bolgheri and this is my favourite Felciaino yet!
25,000 bottles were produced. Drink 2021-2027.
Serve with red meat dishes, particularly steak or wild pigeon, or caciucco (Tuscan seafood stew)
