From this winery
  • Start up year: 1968
  • Oenologist: Leonardo Bellaccini
  • Hectares: 188
Sustainability shapes our philosophy and we have a deep respect for our historic estate. San Felice covers 150 hectares, at an altitude of around 400 metres above sea level, with a perfect combination of soil and micro-climate. In these ideal conditions, we are producing highly acclaimed wines and oils.

Our winemaker, Leonardo Bellaccini, has pioneered many unique practices. Importantly he sees distinctive characteristics in each of San Felice’s undulating slopes and he treats each vine within the vineyard individually. Having identified five macro-areas Leonardo and his team has planted the grape varieties which thrive in the specific geography and soil.
