Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022
James Suckling 93 Points | Rich and waxy nose with notes of cooked peaches, dried pineapple, beeswax and caramel. Full-bodied, broad, succulent and nicely filled with tropical fruit and a lot of nutty and spicy nuances. Deep, intense and characterful, with a lingering finish. Drink or hold.
Vinous 91 Points | The 2022 Chardonnay I Sistri is a pretty, understated wine. Pear, white peach, flowers and a kiss of French oak all grace this layered, super-expressive white.

On the nose, it offers an intriguing bouquet of aromas: ripe fruits like peach and melon intertwine with nuances of vanilla and toast, deriving from the light passage in wood.
On the palate, it is rich and enveloping, maintaining excellent freshness thanks to vibrant acidity. The flavors of white-fleshed fruits blend with notes of butter and a light minerality that makes each sip pleasantly persistent.
Ideal as an aperitif, "I Sistri" from Felsina pairs beautifully with elaborate fish dishes, white meats, and medium-aged cheeses. It is also an excellent companion for risottos and pasta with seafood.
