93 points Susan Hulme (The Wine Independent): "The 2020 Felsina Chianti Classico Berardenga has a gentle nose of sweet oak spice with a little pepper, baking spices and some just-ripe cherry. On the palate is has perfumed cherry flavors with a hint of crunchy greenness but also a sharp bitter cherry note. It has lots of gravelly textured, quite drying tannins but it is long on the finish. It is a wine with some class. Alcohol 13.5%. Drink: 2023-2030. (1/26/23)"
92 points Falstaff Guide: "Bright ruby colour. The nose shows fresh notes of red fruits, raspberry, strawberry and undergrowth. The palate is direct, with good structure and well integrated tannins. Pleasant finish with juiciness. Alcohol 13.5%. (12/2/22)"
91 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2020 Chianti Classico Berardenga is a classic Fèlsina wine. It can be enjoyed now or cellared for 10-15 years. Classic Fèlsina savory, floral and tobacco accents play off a core of sweet Sangiovese fruit. This heady, strapping wine has a ton to offer. Time in the glass brings out gorgeous aromatic presence. Drink: 2022-2035. (Jul 2022)"
91 points Wine Spectator: "A charming, harmonious Chianti Classico, this exudes cherry, plum and thyme flavors, with elements of earth and mineral. Delivers dense tannins that exert influence on the finish, yet this remains balanced. Drink now through 2028. (9/30/22)"
91 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Aromas of black-skinned berry, menthol and dark spice mingle together in the glass. Taut and youthfully tight, the linear palate offers crushed Marasca cherry, ground clove and white pepper alongside somewhat grainy, drying tannins and fresh acidity. 13.5% abv. (Dec 2022)"
91 points Wine & Spirits: "[$30 list] Raspy tannins frame flavors of tart red-cherry and fire-roasted tomato, those tannins flecked with notes of dried oregano and baked earth. For tomato-based dishes. (Feb 2023)"
90 points Michaela Morris (Decanter): "In the commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga, Fèlsina’s expansive vineyards are at the luminous southeastern tip of Chianti Classico. The Berardenga label represents a plentiful annual production of 250,000 bottles. On first impression, the 2020 is overtly ripe, yet with time prune cake and vanilla notes subside, allowing wild herb and savoury nuances to step in. The chewy tannins are long and supple, with ample fruit density to balance. Drinking Window: 2023-2029. (Mar 2022)"
