Tasting Notes: Producing the San Felice Chianti Classico entirely from native varieties, predominantly Sangiovese with addition of Colorino and Pugnitello creates a traditional in feel, medium-bodied Chianti Classico. Easilly enjoyable and noted for its elegance, the wine sees a traditional fermentation with 12 months maturation in large slavonian oak casks.
Estate History: San Felice spans three stunning areas of Toscana: Chianti Classico, Montalcino and Bolgheri. With an estate in each territory, the taste of Toscana's terroir is on full display in their wines. In the 1980s, they dug deep into indigenous grape varieties of the region and created the Vitiarium, an experimental vineyard where they grow over 270 varieties of native grapes in an effort to protect Toscana's biodiversity. After years of study, they have been able to collect and classify the grapes that make up Tuscan viticulture heritage, and even blend them with the more well-known Sangiovese for complex and unique wines.
