Il Grigio : Full-Bodied Tuscan Chianti

San Felice Il Grigio Chianti Classico Riserva is a full-bodied wine from Tuscany’s Chianti Classico region, made exclusively from Sangiovese grapes grown on the San Felice Estate. This vineyard's unique calcareous marl and limestone soil, typical of the area, gives Il Grigio a notable mineral character and depth. During vinification, the wine undergoes 18–20 days of skin contact for concentrated color and flavor. Aging takes place over 24 months in a combination of Slavonian oak casks and French oak barrels, followed by an additional six months in the bottle. This meticulous process results in a richly layered and balanced Chianti that wine enthusiasts will appreciate for its complexity and aging potential of up to 10 years.

This Chianti Classico Riserva pairs beautifully with Italian and Mediterranean dishes, including pasta with meat sauces, roasted lamb, and charcuterie boards. Its bold flavors of cherry, cranberry, and cedar are complemented by earthy, savory notes that make it a natural match for grilled meats, aged cheeses like Pecorino, and even truffle-infused dishes. With its smooth tannins and vibrant acidity, Il Grigio is also a fantastic choice for festive gatherings, adding elegance and sophistication to any meal.

On the nose, Il Grigio offers aromas of wild berries, violet, and cedar, giving way to a rich, well-balanced palate with flavors of ripe cherry, cranberry, sage, and subtle spice. Its fresh acidity and velvety tannins create a long, refined finish that captures the heart of Tuscan winemaking. This full-bodied Chianti Classico Riserva is perfect for connoisseurs who appreciate a structured, full-bodied red wine with layers of flavor that unfold with every sip.
