San Felice Il Grigio Chianti Classico Riserva is a superb expression of traditional Tuscan winemaking, combining the purity of Sangiovese with the complexity that comes from extended ageing. Fragrant aromas of ripe Morello cherry, wild raspberry and violet are layered with notes of cedar, tobacco, leather and sweet baking spice. The palate is beautifully balanced, offering bright acidity, fine-grained tannins and impressive concentration without sacrificing elegance. Oak maturation adds subtle notes of vanilla and spice, while the finish is long, savoury and wonderfully persistent. A timeless Chianti Classico Riserva, it is drinking beautifully now and will continue to develop gracefully over the coming decade
Made predominantly from Sangiovese grown in the heart of Chianti Classico, this Riserva is matured in oak for around 24 months before further bottle ageing. The result is a full-bodied, beautifully structured wine with refined tannins, vibrant acidity and excellent ageing potential.
