The estate’s 2006 Chianti Classico Riserva Poggio Rosso (Sangiovese, Colorino) is wonderfully alive in this vintage, with layers of dark fruit, sweet tobacco, leather and spices that swirl around in the glass beautifully. There is more than enough depth and vibrancy to the fruit to make me think the Poggio Rosso will drink well for a number of years. It is another highly promising wine from San Felice. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2026.
What a joy it is to taste these new releases from San Felice. Quite simply, these are the finest wines I have tasted from the estate in many a year. San Felice is one of the most beautiful properties in all of Tuscany. It’s nice to see quality on the rise.
