The last being the Grisaldi Del Taja family, among the founders of the Chianti Classico Consortium in the first half of the 20th century. Then, in the 1970s, a new development model began: the estate was acquired by the Allianz Group, which focused on oenological and territorial excellence.
The Estate, through painstaking work, is completely restored with interventions that enhance its architectural and artistic features and, in 1992, becomes the only Resort in the Chianti Classico area to enter the international Relais & Châteaux luxury hotel circuit. At the same time, the winery began an extensive vineyard replanting programme to enhance the value of Sangiovese, a project flanked by scientific research on native vines, in collaboration with the Universities of Florence and Pisa. San Felice's territories extend over a total of about 700 hectares, 188 of which are planted with vines, in the three most prestigious production areas in Tuscany: Chianti Classico, Montalcino and Bolgheri.
The important recognitions obtained over the years prompted the company to expand the production areas, acquiring in 1981 the Campogiovanni estate in Montalcino, where it began the production of Brunello, and, in 2016, in the prestigious Bolgheri area, from which the wines of the new Bell'Aja brand are born. Today, the Borgo and San Felice are two successful realities with a single soul, combining tradition and innovation. Read more
