San Felice Chianti Classico 2021

Tuscany, ItalyFrom a once in a decade quality vintage, the ’21 San Felice annata is a juicy, round, ripe Chianti still finding its feet. It is primarily sangiovese with a splash of pugnitello and finished in the traditional style. It spends about a year in large Slavonian oak casks for conditioning and is bottled with that traditional forest floor and black cherry nose. The texture in 2021 is succulent and easily capable of carrying a rich licorice and cherry palate that finishes with classic Tuscan dryness. This works with turkey or a more traditional match like lasagne.Tasted: 11 October 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
