What kind of wine is it

Maestro Raro Fèlsina is a Tuscan red wine made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from vineyards dedicated to this varietal. The style is warm and harmonious, with a well-defined structure and a long finish. Vinification involves fermentation in steel and prolonged aging in first and second use French oak barriques, which shapes a consistent and distinctive profile.

Where does it come from

The grapes for Maestro Raro Fèlsina come from the Rancia Piccola and Poggiolo vineyards in Tuscany, the source of the raw material. The origin from two named parcels clarifies the wine’s identity and links its character to a Tuscan territorial context, fitting for a red made from Cabernet Sauvignon.

How is it made

The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are crushed and destemmed, then fermented in steel tanks for 16–20 days with daily pump-overs and punch-downs to manage extraction. The wine ages for 18–20 months in first and second use French barriques, and after maturation, it is bottled.
