THE COMPANY
San Felice is a historical winery in Chianti Classico, located in the eponymous locality in the territory of Castelnuovo Berardenga. The first wine productions in the ancient Pieve San Felice in Pincis date back to the Etruscan era and experienced significant development starting from the 1400s, as historical sources testify, maintaining its presence over the centuries and achieving important successes throughout the 1900s, thanks also to brilliant insights. The winery took on its current form in 1978 when it was purchased by the Allianz group, reaching such dimensions that it acquired other smaller wineries. Today, it includes, in addition to the picturesque estates of Chianti, the Campogiovanni estate in Montalcino and the Bell’Aja estate in Bolgheri.
The San Felice estate, the main site of this large production reality, extends over more than 650 hectares, of which 140 are dedicated to vineyards. The happy combination of climate, soil, and exposure ensures the perfect ripening of the cultivated red grapes, particularly Sangiovese. The preservation of the ancient terraces divided by dry stone walls and a sustainable approach called “precision viticulture,” aimed at limiting treatments, allows for the maintenance of biodiversity. The experimental project “Vitiarum” also consists of maintaining 270 ancient grape varieties collected in 1.6 hectares of vineyard to prevent them from falling into oblivion, thus preserving the ampelographic heritage typical of the territory. The Campogiovanni estates, on the other hand, extend over 65 hectares southwest of Montalcino, while the more recent Bell’Aja in Bolgheri now covers just over 6 hectares.
The wines of San Felice are celebrated expressions of the Tuscan territory, known and appreciated by multiple generations of wine lovers. The “Vigorello,” for example, introduced back in 1968, was the first example of a Supertuscan and continues to impress and excite today. Another historic label is “Il Grigio,” an intense and traditional expression of Chianti Classico. All the other labels also reveal a classic and solid structure, behind which lies the great success of this winery in the world.
