San Felice Wine Estates Will Transport You to Rolling Hills of Tuscany

Between the Chianti hills and the landscape of the Crete Senesi lies the San Felice estate – home to 465 acres of vineyards and 15,000 olive trees. The vineyards of San Felice have a history as rich and bountiful as their land. Dating all the way back to the Etruscan times, it wasn’t until the late 1970s that San Felice became what it is today when Allianz Group purchased the estate and committed to developing the farm into an avant-garde winery.

The vineyards are set on sandy silty soils with a typical Mediterranean climate made up of mild winters and hot dry summers with sea breezes. Owing its bounty to the Tuscan land it lies on, the winery has an extensive vineyard replanting program with the aim of maximizing the value of its Sangiovese grapes. It’s the commitment and passion of those who work at San Felice to tend the land and make it bear fruit that keeps the tradition of winemaking alive. 

San Felice is an iconic winery in Chianti Classico with a strong commitment to research and experimentation. Since the 1960s, San Felice has been on a journey of innovation and development of exceptional wines, including their first-ever Supertuscan, Vigorello, and first Chianti Classico from a single vineyard, Poggio Rosso Riserva. 85% of San Felice’s 150 hectares are cultivated with Sangiovese, underscoring the company’s dedication to producing a Chianti Classico that truly represents the local terroir. San Felice Chianti Classico estate produces a total of 800,000 bottles.

San Felice's Vitiarium is used in an effort to grow the estate while also giving back to the land that has made the vineyard what it is today. For over 30 years, San Felice has been collecting and classifying over 270 grape varieties in the Vitiarium. Paying close attention to the biodiversity of their vines protects the genetic heritage of Tuscan viticulture and accentuates the characteristics of Sangiovese.

San Felice wines are truly a labor of love and can be appreciated by anyone. Behind each bottle is passion, tradition, and a commitment to the land they are made from.
