2022 San Felice Toscana Rosso IGT

San Felice’s 150 hectares of vineyards extend across the luminous rolling hills of Castelnuovo Berardenga. For the annata bottling, Sangiovese is joined by a host of other local varieties, primarily Abrusco and Pugnitello with dashes of Malvasia Nera, Ciliegiolo and Mazzese. It exudes macerated cherry and candied red plum with hints of nutmeg and leather. Some flinty hints appear on the midweight, moderately concentrated palate, completed by gentle, short-grained tannins and pleasantly puckering acidity. Everything is in place for satisfying affordable midweek drinking.
