The benchmark of Chianti Classico.
Few wines capture the soul of Tuscany quite like Chianti Classico, and San Felice has long been regarded as one of the appellation's finest ambassadors. Produced in the historic heart of the Chianti Classico zone between Florence and Siena, this iconic red showcases the purity of Sangiovese through a perfect balance of vibrant fruit, savoury complexity and elegant structure. It is a wine deeply rooted in centuries of Tuscan winemaking tradition while embracing the precision and consistency that have made San Felice one of Italy's most respected estates.

The vineyards benefit from elevated sites, limestone-rich soils and a climate that combines warm sunny days with cool evenings, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly while preserving freshness and aromatic intensity. Careful vineyard management and thoughtful ageing produce a Chianti Classico that is expressive from its youth yet possesses the depth and harmony expected from one of Italy's great wine regions.

For wine lovers in Ireland, San Felice Chianti Classico is a timeless choice that fits almost any occasion. Equally enjoyable with a midweek pasta dinner or a leisurely weekend roast, it delivers the unmistakable flavours of Tuscany in every glass, offering authenticity, versatility and exceptional value from one of the region's benchmark producers.

Why we love it:
This is exactly what Chianti Classico should be—bright, elegant and wonderfully food-friendly. San Felice combines generations of expertise with meticulous attention to detail, producing a wine that balances juicy cherry fruit, refreshing acidity and refined tannins with effortless precision. It is a dependable classic that never goes out of style and one we happily recommend to anyone looking to experience authentic Tuscany.

Colour
Brilliant ruby red with delicate garnet highlights.

Nose
Fresh cherries, ripe red berries and wild violets lead the bouquet, followed by subtle notes of dried herbs, sweet spice, cedar, leather and a hint of earthy minerality.

Palate
Medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, offering vibrant red cherry, plum and raspberry flavours supported by fine-grained tannins and lively acidity. Gentle notes of spice, tobacco and savoury herbs carry through to a long, elegant finish with impressive freshness.

A wonderfully versatile Tuscan classic that complements both rustic Italian cooking and hearty everyday dishes. Pair it with:

Tagliatelle or pappardelle with rich meat ragù
Traditional lasagne or baked pasta
Grilled steak or Tuscan-style pork
Roast lamb with rosemary and garlic
Wood-fired pizza with cured meats
Mature Pecorino, Parmesan or aged cheddar

Perfect for dining across Ireland, where its lively acidity and savoury character pair beautifully with Sunday roasts, artisan cheeses and comforting home-cooked meals as well as classic Italian cuisine. Serve at 16–18°C, and allow the wine to breathe for 20–30 minutes before serving to fully express its aromas and silky texture.

San Felice is one of Tuscany's most historic and admired wine estates, with a reputation built upon generations of dedication to quality and innovation. Located in the heart of Chianti Classico, the estate has played an important role in preserving the region's winemaking heritage while embracing modern techniques that allow every vineyard to express its unique character.

Today, San Felice continues to produce wines that are recognised worldwide for their elegance, consistency and authenticity. Every bottle reflects a philosophy of respecting the land, carefully nurturing Sangiovese and crafting wines that remain true to the traditions of Tuscany while appealing to today's wine lovers.
