San Felice
-
James Suckling (96)
Aromas of bark, spices, sandalwood, and lavender, as well as joyous ripe fruit. Full-bodied, round and powerful with an impressive backbone of tannins and length. Needs at least three to four years to soften. Try in 2021.$313.00 -

(6x75cl) 2021Vinous - Antonio Galloni (92)
The 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Il Grigio di San Felice is an extrovert. A blast of dark fruit, leather, incense, scorched earth, tobacco and dried flowers conveys virile intensity right out of the gate. In my mind, the two Il Grigios (Riserva and Gran Selezione) are not that different. The Gran Selezione was aged in 70% cask and 30% 500-litre French oak barrels.$208.00 -
(6x75cl) 2020Vinous - Antonio Galloni (94)
The 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Poggio Rosso is just as impressive as it was last year. Plush contours give the 2020 its racy, effusive personality. Dark red cherry, plum, mocha, new leather and a kiss of French oak race out of the glass. This sumptuous Gran Selezione has a ton to offer, starting with its undeniably alluring personality.$363.00 -
Vinous (88)
Very dark ruby-garnet. Spicy, serious nose shows substantial vanilla and chocolate from the oak. Rich, dense and concentrated, with a point of acidity refreshing the berry fruit. Finishes with solid tannins and a slight bitterness.$252.00 -
Wine Advocate (94+)
This is a historic Tuscan wine, with the first vintage produced in 1968. The San Felice 2016 Vigorello is a blend of the Tuscan indigenous grape Pugnitello, with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. It offers depth, intensity and a profound level of dark fruit with blackberry, plum, spice, earth and campfire ash. Robust and softly textured, it has the length and power to pair with a juicy leg of lamb with white beans and rosemary potatoes. An ample 40,000 examples of this lovely vintage were made.$379.00
