"I Sistri" Chardonnay Toscana IGT

The history of Fèlsina began in 1966, when Domenico Poggiali bought the farm and chose to invest in the quality of the wine. In the space of a few years, the number of hectares under vine grew to more than forty and the soul and organisation of the company changed. Located between the last offshoots of the Chianti mountains and the initial part of the Ombrone valley, today Fèlsina covers an area of about 600 hectares, 95 of which are vineyards. It produces vines capable of expressing the different particularities of the terroir of this corner of Tuscany. After all, the Fèlsina estates, developed over more than a thousand years, still constitute the basic cultivation unit of the work. And the main concern is the defence of the natural fertility of the soil, which is safeguarded by working in a context of experimentation that ranges from biodynamics to the most modern technologies and innovations made available worldwide. Thanks to this mentality, today at Fèlsina there are various clones of Sangiovese and rootstocks planted in very heterogeneous territories. This allows the winery's technicians to have, like painters, a palette of infinite shades and possibilities. In addition, there are woods, cereal fields, olive groves, scrub, ditches and streams, and the smaller fields of the hunting reserve cultivated with alfalfa, sainfoin, sorghum, sunflowers and field beans. Everything contributes to the preservation of biodiversity.
