San Felice Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Poggio Rosso 2021

San Felice Poggio Rosso is a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione from the estate’s historic vineyard in Castelnuovo Berardenga, offering a particularly expressive take on Sangiovese. Made with Sangiovese and Colorino, with Pugnitello also noted in the producer’s description, it combines polished tannins and generous structure with the poise to mature gracefully.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red with garnet reflections, the wine opens with ripe plum and blackberry, layered with sweet tobacco and spice. The palate is full-bodied yet fresh, with fine, silky tannins and lingering notes of dark chocolate and roasted coffee.

Production
The grapes come from Poggio Rosso, at around 400 metres above sea level in Castelnuovo Berardenga. The vineyard’s stony, medium-textured soils include limestone marl derived from Alberese and Galestro, with some sandy alluvial areas; vines are trained using Guyot and spur-pruned systems. Fermentation takes place with the skins for around 25 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel. The wine then matures for 36 months in oak casks and barriques, with a further 15 months in bottle.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C with roasted or grilled meats, game, or well-aged cheeses. Decant for about an hour before serving to allow the wine’s layered aromas to open; its structure and stated ageing potential also make it a strong candidate for further cellaring.

Producer
San Felice’s estate in Castelnuovo Berardenga has been at the heart of the Poggio Rosso story since 1968. The wine is made from selected vineyard clones, chosen in the late 1970s, and reflects the estate’s focus on showcasing the character of this historic site.
