SAN FELICE

Order by

The San Felice farm occupies a village located in the municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga, not far from the city of Siena. The complex has ancient origins, and has gradually been built around the Pieve di San Felice in Pincis, dating back to 714 AD. Today the structure, owned by the Allianz S.p.A. group, is of a very high standard, and in addition to the production of wines and olive oil, it can also boast a fantastic hotel, which has recently become part of the Relais & Chateaux chain. The company covers an immense area of 650 hectares, of which 140 are destined for the cultivation of vines, located partly in the center of the Chianti Classico production area and partly in the Brunello di Montalcino area, interspersed with land dedicated to production of oil, obtained from over 17,000 olive trees present. The terroir, thanks to the perfect combination of height above sea level and microclimate characterized by significant temperature variations, allows the best cultivation of the various vines present, among which Sangiovese, Colorino, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pugnitello, Petit Verdot, trebbiano and chardonnay. Furthermore, in the vineyards, since the 1990s, zoning has been carried out to identify those specific macro-areas in which each grape is able to express itself at its best, compatibly with the geopedological characteristics of each area. San Felice is an innovative company, which also proposes itself as a bulwark of protection for the Chianti landscape, operating with sustainable practices that seek the lowest possible environmental impact and the protection of biodiversity. Each year we produce bottles that represent only the best of Tuscany, declined with different labels, perfect to meet the needs of every enthusiast. A note of merit goes to "Il Grigio" and "Poggio Rosso", both different expressions of the new legislative typology introduced at the top of all the production of Chianti Classico, or the "Great Selection".
