Forty years have passed since the purchase of the Campogiovanni wine estate in Montalcino, and now San Felice has extended its interest to another world-class winegrowing area: Bolgheri.
Consistent with its philosophy of making wine exclusively from estate-grown grapes, San Felice located 6 hectares of vineyards near Le Sondraie area.
The vines, averaging 5 years old and planted in the silt-sand soils classic to the zone, amount to 2 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon and 4 hectares of Merlot.
They yield two wines, Bolgheri and Bolgheri Superiore.
Winery Notes
A mild winter 2020 made a very early bud breaking end of March. Unfortunately the night of March 25th the temperatures dropped down below 0 and the Sangiovese was strongly affected with a dramatic reduction of the yield. The spring was nice with a good amount of rain and several sunny days. The summer was great, warm but without many heat waves. The fruit reached a perfect ripening soon.
Wine Profile
Purple in appearance, it exhibits a bouquet redolent of wild berry preserves, lifted by smooth notes of spice. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced and delicious, with supple, velvety tannins.
Critical Acclaim
JS91, James Suckling
"Dark olives, blackberries, dark currants and coffee beans on the nose. This is a full-bodied red with juicy blackberries and a chunk of fine-grained tannins that will need some time to come around. Drink from 2024.:"
