Chianti Classicos are some of the finest wines produced in Tuscany; those that receive the designation "Gran Selezione" are truly the cream of the crop. Crafted from top-notch fruit, these wines are made exclusively from estate-grown grapes, require a minimum of 30 months of aging, and are reviewed by a tasting panel to ensure quality. Today's wine is well worth its full price but is a total bargain at 40% savings!
 
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 microclimates, 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 in every one of their cuvées.

95 points, Wine Review Online:
"Castelnuovo Berardenga, the southern-most of Chianti Classico’s UGAs (Unità Geografiche Aggiuntive, or Additional Geographical Unit), is home to San Felice’s Chianti Classico property and helps explain the ripe, dense quality to this stunning Gran Selezione. What makes the wine sing and stand apart, however, is complementary herbal and mineral notes combined with fabulous and balancing enlivening acidity."
 
94 points, Wine Spectator:
"Cherry, plum, leather, and sweet spice flavors mingle in this dense, broad red, which stays focused courtesy of its vibrant acidity, with a wide girth of tannins on the fresh, complex finish."
 
93 points, Wine Enthusiast:
"The warm, inviting, almost sensuous nose features abundant tar and gravel, along with succulent aromas of blood orange, blackberry, and caramelized fennel. More dark berry notes emerge on the palate, before a finish of citrus and dark chocolate. Sticky, dense tannins bind everything together."
