Wine Enthusiast, April 2014

Here’s an outstanding Chianti Classico made from 80% Sangiovese, 10% Pugnitello and 10% Colorino that opens with earthy aromas of underbrush, leather, violet, dark spices and red berries. The structured palate delivers...

A very beautiful red with a blueberry and fresh herb character. Full body, velvety tannins and a chewy finish. Better in 2015.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October 2014

The 2010 Chianti Classico Riserva Poggio Rosso stands out for the intensity and overall integrity of the bouquet. The wine feels like a super Tuscan (rather than a Chianti Classico Riserva) thanks to the layered richness...

Agricola San Felice spans two outstanding territories: Chianti Classico and Montalcino. The San Felice estate (more than 650 hectares) is at the southern end of the Chianti Classico area in Castelnuovo Berardenga. Lying at about 1,300 feet, it includes 140 hectares of vineyard, about 17,000 olive trees, the cellar, the village and a prestigious hotel complex.

San Felice is recognized for innovations. The estate’s history includes Vigorello, the forerunner of the famous SuperTuscans, followed in the 1970’s by the creation of Poggio Rosso, a first, and at the time, rare example of a Chianti Classico cru.

Also notable is the unique research project the winery has in partnership with the University of Florence. Over 270 Tuscan grape varieties were collected, classified and planted into the Vitiarium, the estate’s most important experimental vineyard, where they were tended, tested and analyzed.

The estate’s cellars are located in fully renovated 19th century buildings within the village. Vinification marries tradition and modernity. Aging is in Slavonian oak barrels and French oak tonneaux and barriques.

The Campogiovanni estate covers 65 hectares on the southwestern side of Montalcino. The estate was bought by Agricola San Felice in the 1980’s, before Brunello had achieved the wide international acclaim it enjoys today. Fourteen of the estate’s 20 hectares are currently used for the production of Brunello.
