Forty years have passed since the purchase of the Campogiovanni wine estate in Montalcino, and now San Felice has extended its interest to another world class winegrowing area: Bolgheri.
Consistent with its philosophy of making wine exclusively from estate grown grapes, San Felice located 6 hectares of vineyards near le Sondraie area.
The vines averaging 5 years old and planted in the silt-sand soils classic to the zone, amount to 2 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon and four hectares of Merlot.
They yield two wines, Bolgheri and Bolgheri Superior.

Purple in appearance, it exhibits a bouquet redolent of wild berry preserves, lifted by smooth notes of spice. On the palate it is beautifully balanced and delicious with supple, velvety tannins.
San Felice Bolgheri Bell' Aja Description
Agricola San Felice
“The estate is situated in the municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga, near Siena, in other words, right in the heart of the Chianti Classico territory. With over 140 hectares of specialized vineyard, about 17,000 olive trees, the majority of the experimental plantations, the Vitiarium, the cellar and the village with its prestigious hotel complex, San Felice is a rare, not to say unique, blend of production, science, tourism and culture”
“The San Felice estate covers an area of more than 650 hectares in the municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga, at an altitude of about 400 metres above sea level. The perfect combination of soil and microclimate, together with the wide temperature range, create the ideal conditions for producing truly irrepeatable wines and oils. To accentuate the distinctive characteristics of each vineyard, we divided the area into different zones in the 1990s. We identified five macro-areas, and planted the grape varieties best-suited to the soil and geography of each.”
