Vigorello Toscana IGT

Agricola San Felice is based at Castelnuovo Berardenga at the southern edge of Chianti Classico, with 140 hectares of vineyard alongside a cellar, some 17,000 olive trees and a hotel complex. Vigorello is the estate's landmark wine: first made in 1968, it was

the first Super Tuscan produced in the Chianti Classico region, and it was radical at the time for being made solely from red grapes, as a 100% Sangiovese, at a period when local rules expected white grapes in the blend.

Its composition has been reworked repeatedly since — Cabernet Sauvignon joined in 1979, Merlot in 2001, and by 2011 Sangiovese had been removed altogether and Pugnitello introduced. That native grape came out of the Vitiarium, the experimental vineyard San Felice developed with the Universities of Florence and Pisa in the 1980s to study and preserve indigenous varieties, work that has continued for over thirty years.

Leonardo Bellaccini is the estate's winemaker, responsible for a widely awarded portfolio built on Sangiovese.
