Wine Spectator, June 2017

Highly Recommended. In a traditional style, featuring beefy tannins and savory earth notes, with a core of leather and cherry flavors. Shows some sweetness midpalate and picks up energy on the long finish. Hangs...

jamessuckling.com, December 2016

A ripe and layered Brunello with plum and berry character plus hints of chocolate and walnuts. Medium to full body and round and velvety tannins. Flavorful finish. Why wait on this?

Wine Enthusiast, April 2017

Forest floor, truffle, new leather, ripe berry and a balsamic note are some of the aromas you'll find in this delicious red. The fresh, chewy palate doles out fleshy black cherry, chopped mint and white pepper notes...

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.
