Chianti Classico Riservas are among the cream of the Tuscan crop and the finest expressions of Chianti wines. Loaded with fruit flavors layered with terroir-driven characters and very well structured thanks to firm tannins and acidity, these wines are highly complex and built to last. Riservas must be aged for a minimum of two years before being released into the market. They are made with the utmost care and usually have the splurge-level pricing to match. Not today, though! Indulge in this afternoon's sublime offer without breaking the bank!
Sustainability is the guiding principle of San Felice’s philosophy. With 150 hectares under vine at an altitude of 1300 feet above sea level and a perfect combination of soils and micro-climates, the folks at San Felice, under the guidance of winemaker Leonardo Bellaccini, see themselves as stewards of the land who guide rather than dominate the processes of grape cultivation and winemaking. They let the terroir do the talking, and it shows!

95 points, Natalie McLean:
"The San Felice Il Grigio Riserva 2021 Chianti Classico is a well-balanced, medium-plus-bodied red crafted from sustainably farmed Sangiovese grapes. This wine opens with lively aromas of cherry, spiced red plum, and earthy mushroom, which carry through to a smooth, lingering finish. The tannins are structured yet soft, providing a solid backbone to the fruit. While it’s enjoyable now, it will continue to develop gracefully in the bottle through 2032."
93 points, #24 Top 100 for 2024, Wine Spectator:
"Offers cherry and plum fruit framed by earth, mineral, and wild herb flavors. Poised between elegance and power, this red is beautifully balanced. Dusty tannins support the fruit on the long finish. Best from 2026 through 2042."
93 points, Vinous:
"The 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Grigio da San Felice is a dark, dense wine. Black cherry, leather, tobacco, incense, and dried herbs reinforce that initial impression. A Riserva of substance and power, the 2021 has a ton to offer. It’s an especially fine edition of Il Grigio."
