Natalie's Score: 90/100

A moderately priced, pleasant Chianti for Italian fare. Very attractive smoke and toasty oak on the nose. Black cherry, spice aromas, with good acidity in this almost full-bodied red wine. Polished tannins. Made from the traditional Sangiovese grape and other native varieties, this full-bodied Italian red wine has smooth tannins. The 2013 vintage of the Chianti Classico San Felice is mostly of Sangiovese grapes with some Colorino and Pugnitello grapes. Pugnitello almost became non-existent until this winery started using it in this popular blend. Pair with grilled meats.

Chianti Classico food pairings: bucatini with sausage and peas, roast beef, cheesy pizza, stuffed roasted turkey.

Reviews and Ratings

Rachelle O'Connor rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Beautiful example of a classic Chianti. There are notes of rich dried red fruit, earth and leather. On the palate there is a hint of violet, cherry, and spice. It is well balanced and medium bodied.
Love the one litre format. San Felice (2013) is a fun Chianti Classico from Tuscany and perfect for Italian fare. The 2013 vintage is a Sangiovese, Colorino and Pugnitello red wine grape blend. - Community Wine Reviews
