Tasting Notes: The San Felice Vermentino Perolla is from the traditional grape in the Maremma, Vermentino. It ripens to perfection on the hills of the Perolla estate, thanks in part to the moderating influence of the nearby Mediterranean. The addition of a small amount of Sauvignon Blanc brings further complexity to the nose and improves the wine’s stucture.
Estate History: San Felice spans three stunning areas of Toscana: Chianti Classico, Montalcino and Bolgheri. With an estate in each territory, the taste of Toscana's terroir is on full display in their wines. In the 1980s, they dug deep into indigenous grape varieties of the region and created the Vitiarium, an experimental vineyard where they grow over 270 varieties of native grapes in an effort to protect Toscana's biodiversity. After years of study, they have been able to collect and classify the grapes that make up Tuscan viticulture heritage, and even blend them with the more well-known Sangiovese for complex and unique wines.
