The Chianti Classico Riserva "Il Grigio" is a 100% Sangiovese born in the splendid area of the Sienese hills of Castelnuovo Berardenga. It is one of the flagship labels of the San Felice winery and represents a prestigious version of the most famous wine of Tuscany. A Chianti Riserva released on the market only after a long refinement, first in wood and then in the bottle, which offers the best gustatory sensations of mature and evolved Sangiovese: aromatic richness and complexity and great drinkability.
The Chianti "Il Grigio" from the San Felice winery is produced on the estate which is located near the ancient Pieve San Felice in Pincis. In this magnificent area of rolling hills, north of Castelnuovo Berardenga, there are the Sangiovese vineyards. The wine comes from the selection of the best grapes of the company and wants to represent the pure excellence of the land of Chianti. The vines are trained using the spurred cordon system on medium-textured clay-limestone soils deriving from the disintegration of alberese and galestro rocks. The harvest usually takes place between the end of September and the beginning of October. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 28-30 °C, with maceration on the skins for 18-20 days. 80% of the wine ages in Slavonian oak barrels for 24 months and the remaining 20% in 225 liter French oak barriques. The refinement ends with 6 months in the bottle.
The Chianti Classico Riserva from the Sienese winery San Felice is a beautiful version of Sangiovese, which stands out for its intensity, gustatory balance and aromatic richness. In the glass it has an intense ruby color with garnet hues. On the nose it expresses aromas of violets, aromas of ripe cherries, small berries and spices. It is a wine with a good structure, with dense and evolved aromas, a dense tannic texture well integrated with the body of the wine and a lively, fresh finish.
