Background
This status is proved by our history:
San Felice’s original strong focus on the study and the
improvement of Sangiovese for the production of very typical
Chianti Classicos (nowadays only pure Sangiovese).
1968 San Felice releases Vigorello; the first Supertuscan, 3
years earlier than Antinori (Tignanello) and 10 years earlier than
the beginning of Supertuscans mode.
1978 San Felice produces the first vintage of Poggio Rosso, at
that time a rare example of “crû” of Chianti Classico, confirming
its strong engagement in this appellation.
1981 San Felice starts the research activity on the native
grape varieties in collaboration with the University of Florence
and Pisa, totally in contrast with the other producers focussing
more on international varieties.
2006 San Felice releases Pugnitello, the first wine made with
one of the native varieties rediscovered and studied together
with the University; the first concrete result of 20 years of
22
research.
Research and experimentation in
cooperation with the Universities of Pisa &
Florence
In 1987 San Felice offered to plant 278 varieties (161 red)
grown in Tuscany in an experimental vineyard on its
property. This “Preservation Vineyard” became known as
VITIARIUM
23
Pugnitello vine
¡ The owner of the
vineyard where it was
growing had no
information regarding
its provenance.
¡ Its name is derived from
the shape of the cluster.
(fist shaped; fist=pugno,
pugnitello)
¡ There were no written
references found in
recent or past
ampelographical works.

Conclusions
Everyone who works at San Felice needs to be
conscious of participating in a significant project. Our
sales team and our importers have a crucial role to
transfer these values to customers and explain them all
that a bottle of San Felice actually contains: tradition,
research, high quality, innovation.
IN A WORD, A “STYLE.”
