San Felice is a medieval Tuscan hamlet nestled among the hill sides of Chianti Classico near Siena and Montalcino. The surrounding woods, olive groves, and vineyard shave been cultivated for centuries.
San Felice Estate, owned by the Grisaldi del Taja family from 1700 until 1968, is today a prestigious winery led by creative, innovative talents who have made great wines since the beginning, including the first Super Tuscan ever made in Chianti Classico, Vigorello.
85% of San Felice’s 140 hectares are planted to Sangiovese, a fact that confirms the estate’s propensity for producing a Chianti Classico truly representative of the local terroir, including Il Grigio Riserva and the two Gran Selezione La Pieve and Poggio Rosso. Research and experimentation are in San Felice’s DNA, and throughout the years the team has carried out projects with the Universities of Florence and Pisa that have led to an important experiment with indigenous Tuscan varieties: among them Pugnitello, an ancient and prestigious variety, which has become one of the estate’s iconic wines.
