Il Grigio Gran Selezione is made from grapes from San Felice’s top vineyards. This 80% Sangiovese is enhanced by ancient indigenous Tuscan varieties including Abrusco, Pugnitello, Malvasia Nera, Ciliegiolo, and Mazzese, all of which contribute to the complexity of the wine while helping maintain its notable elegance and the expression of the terroir of San Felice.

Deep ruby red. The round bouquet releases fragrances that linger beautifully, with scents of sweet violets that meld into smooth, spicy hints of tobacco leaf. This is a full-bodied red, velvety smooth marked by ripe, succulent tannins harmoniously integrated with the acidity. Perfect with wild game, roasted and grilled meats, as well as aged cheeses.
