Winery - San Felice
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Wild berry and forest aromas open the nose of this clean and direct Brunello. There’s very nice purity and intensity here and the wine showcases layers of red fruit, plum, spice, leather and rose petal. The silky and smooth mouthfeel would work with meat dishes or hearty pasta.

With one year in large oak casks, this bright Rosso di Montalcino is both refined and sophisticated. Rich concentration helps give the wine persistency and power. Aromas here include black cherry, dried currants, cola, dried herbs and mesquite wood.

Nutmeg, clove and allspice appear on the nose of this pretty Chianti Classico Riserva. It’s most certainly a wine that follows Tuscan tradition and promises to be a natural match to pasta, white beans and grilled meats thanks to its compact but lively mouthfeel.

Riserva Poggio Rosso opens with a beautifully luminous color and offers bright cherry aromas backed by spice, leather and liquid smoke. The wine’s success is in part due to the 10% component of Pugnitello, which is a robust and concentrated grape that San Felice has developed steadily over the years.

If you have not ever tried Pugnitello (and you probably haven’t) this expression of the little-known grape from Tuscany is an exciting discovery. The wine opens with earthy aromas of leather and moist tobacco and delivers amazing concentration and power. It’s black as night and will pair with all heavy meat dishes.

Campogiovanni is a rich, inky expression of Sangiovese Grosso with beautiful personality and length. The mouthfeel is still young and raw but the aromas already show deep evolution and harmony. You’ll recognize tones of red cherry, root beer, mesquite and Indian spice.
