WINE MAKING PROCESS
Fèlsina's Pagliarese Chianti Classico is produced with a focus on Sangiovese. The grapes are fermented at controlled temperatures, typically between 28-30°C, to optimize extraction. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged, often in Slavonian oak casks, followed by a period of bottle aging. This process is guided by the estate's philosophy of expressing the unique characteristics of their Tuscan terroir.
