San Felice
San Felice е известна винарна, разположена в сърцето на Кианти Класико, на няколко километра от Кастелнуово Берарденга. Винарната е посветена на производството на Chianti Classico. Етикетите "Il Grigio Riserva", "Il Grigio Gran Selezione" и "Poggio Rosso" представят същността на тази територия, както и високо цененото "Pugnitello", произвеждано от древен местен тоскански сорт, който е преоткрит благодарение на изследванията и експериментите на San Felice съвместно с университетите във Флоренция и Пиза. San Felice произвежда вино и в прочутите области Montalcino и Bolgheri.

Tuscany
Tuscany is one of the most diverse and significant regions for Italian wine, where the optimal combination of local and international varieties is obtained, located in many different terroirs. In the second half of the 20th century, it managed to travel the path from mediocre quality to the creation of bright international stars like Sassicaia, Solaia, and Ornellaia. It is no coincidence that they are called Supertuscans due to their incredible aromatic and taste characteristics combined with aging potential. Looking at the map, Tuscany resembles a vine leaf in the heart of the Apennine Peninsula. It is the border between the highly industrialized North and the agricultural South of Italy. It is divided into nine separate provinces: Arezzo, Florence, Grosseto, Livorno, Lucca, Massa-Carrara, Pisa, Pistoia, and Siena, named after the main cities. As diverse as Tuscany is, its climate is generally Mediterranean with many sunny days throughout the year. The soils are mainly composed of clay, sand, and limestone. Sixty-eight percent of the region's terrain is described as hilly. The varieties that are most widespread are Sangiovese (the absolute leader and endless pride for the locals), Canaiolo, Malvasia, Trebbiano, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Shiraz, Vermentino, and Ciliegiolo. Sangiovese has already become synonymous with top wine from Tuscany, and although the variety is widely spread in Central Italy, the Tuscan climate (which sometimes has quite frosty winters) and the calcium-rich limestone-clay soils prove to be the most hospitable for it. Sangiovese can be rich and juicy, but it also has a good potential for recreating the specific terroir of the area. Traditionally in the region, it is blended with Canaiolo and Malvasia, and sometimes with Trebbiano, but since the 1980s, producers dedicated to the idea of super-premium wines with provenance prefer it 100% pure. This is also enshrined in the region's classification, according to which the high categories DOC and DOCG tolerate Sangiovese as a mandatory participant with over 85% in the varietal blend. That is why it is not surprising that Sangiovese dominates the vineyards of Carmignano, Rufina, the hills around Vinci, Chianti, and Chianti Classico, to the south around Montepulciano and Montalcino. The number of plantings per hectare is 3500 - 4000 for old vines and 6000 - 10 000 for new ones.

Cabernet Sauvignon
This is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth - a natural crossing between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. From its origins in Bordeaux, this vine has successfully spread to almost every wine growing country in the world. Cabernet Sauvignon wines always demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, excellent tannic structure and aromas of black berries and spices.
