40 years after the acquisition of the Campogiovanni estate in Montalcino, San Felice 's interest has shifted to another area of Tuscan wine excellence: Bolgheri. Faithful to its philosophy of producing exclusively wines from proprietary grapes, 6 hectares of vineyards have been identified in Le Sondraie. The vines have an average age of 5 years and are planted on a silt-sandy soil typical of the area. The varieties are mainly Cabernet Sauvignon (2 ha) and Merlot (4 ha). Two wines are produced: Bolgheri and Bolgheri Superiore.

Produced entirely with native grapes, Sangiovese mainly with additions of Colorino and Pugnitello, it is a typical Chianti Classico, of medium structure, with a strong personality that stands out in particular for its elegance. The vinification takes place in the traditional way, with medium length maceration, followed by a maturation of the wine for 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels.

Already towards the end of the 70s, in the locality of Poggio Rosso, some selected clones of Sangiovese were planted several times. Poggio Rosso is the result of a careful selection of this grape from some plots of the vineyard of the same name and today represents the excellence of the San Felice terroir. Wine of great concentration and elegance, produced in limited quantities and, especially in the best vintages, it ages for about 20 months in 500-liter tonneaux and another 12 months in the bottle.
