Overview: Wines of San Felice, 2025 Releases


Three new choices from our associates at San Felice in Tuscany, together with some a minimum of one surprising expression we don’t typically see on our shores. Let’s dig in!

2022 San Felice In Avane Chardonnay Toscana – A really curious wine, extraordinarily dry at first blush, then slowly opening to disclose citrus-forward components of mandarin orange, mango, and a few guava. It’s laden all through with saline, which brightens up the proceedings and provides some vigorous minerality. There’s a contact of almond-laced nuttiness on the end, more and more evident because the wine develops additional within the glass — and evoking a extra conventional chardonnay profile. I actually warmed as much as this wine, nevertheless it undoubtedly took its time to totally present its charms. A- / $23

2022 San Felice Borgo Chianti Classico DOCG – A mix of 88% sangiovese and 12% pugnitello, a grape for which San Felice is broadly recognized. There’s a exceptional sense of steadiness with this wine, its contemporary and tart cherry character toned down by later-game appearances of raspberry and even some strawberry. Tea leaf, floor cinnamon, and a candied fruit high quality make for a festive end. Whereas the assault of the wine reveals loads of lingering tannins, these mood with time in glass — and as that barely sweeter end builds. It’s gently jammy with a blackberry high quality on the fade-out, however this solely provides to its charms. A- / $27

2021 San Felice La Pieve Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG – This highest-tier Chianti Classico comes throughout as surprisingly comfortable and supple, a gentler expression of contemporary, barely unripe cherries melded with some cranberry components. Citrus peel notes and components of brewed tea add intrigue, together with a contact of late-game blueberry. More and more tannic because it develops on the palate, this wine ultimately showcases a stunning gravity that’s punctuated by dusty graphite and notes of dried, turned earth. I’d give this a number of years in cellar to develop extra totally. B+ / $50
