About this wine
San Felice Il Chianti Gran Selezione, Tuscany
San Felice produces Il Grigio Gran Selezione from the finest Sangiovese grapes grown on their estate in Castelnuovo Berardenga. The fruit originates from selected vineyard blocks with soil consisting of limestone and clay marl, locally known as Galestro. This wine represents the pinnacle of the estate's Chianti Classico production, adhering to the strict quality standards of the Gran Selezione category. It reflects the heritage of a producer that has operated in the heart of Tuscany since the eighth century.
The winemaking process focuses on structural development and longevity. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks, with a long maceration period on the skins to extract colour and tannins. The wine matures for twenty-four months in large Slavonian oak casks, with a portion aged in French oak barriques to add complexity. This maturation ensures a balance between the fruit and the wood. After bottling, the wine rests for several months to stabilise.
The nose offers aromas of red cherry, leather and roasted coffee. On the palate, the wine is full and firm, featuring flavours of wild berries, liquorice and tobacco. Persistent tannins provide a structured finish with a mineral edge. This Gran Selezione is a prestigious choice for Australian collectors seeking a reliable, high-tier Tuscan red. It provides exceptional value for those who appreciate the depth and history of the Chianti Classico region.
