Producer Information

This is a new 6 hectare estate, owned by San Felice, and situated near Le Sondraie - just a couple of kilometres from the coast and due west of Siena. International varieties dominate the region and San Fiorenzo is no exception, with 4 hectares of Merlot and 2ha of Cabernet Sauvignon. Vines are just several years old, and planted in the sand-silt soils typical of the region.

The Bolgheri DOC (established in 1994) runs parallel to the Tuscan coast, bordering on the Ligurian Sea. The proximity to the coast brings much light into the vineyards - and the moderate temperatures, with cool winds from the sea, ensure a slow and regular ripening period for the grapes - maintanining fresh acidity and aromas.

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

Production

From San Felice's Bolgheri estate, just a couple of kilometres from the Tuscan coast, this is a characterful and well-structured Merlot / Cabernet Sauvignon blend typical of this relatively new DOC.

The Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vines are cultivated in sandy-silt soils typical of the Bolgheri region.

60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon.

The grapes are carefully selected and undergo 18 days fermentation and maceration in stainless steel followed by 12 months maturation in French oak, and a further 3 months in bottle.

Tasting Notes

Lifted aromas of fresh red berries and plum fruit with cedarwood, and gentle minty notes. The palate is ripe with layers of bramble and black cherry fruit balanced by savoury, spice and tobacco characters, supple tannins and a twist of sour cherry acidity on the finish.

Drink with ravioli and meat ragu, braised duck breast or grilled lamb chops.
