Since the 1970s, San Felice has worked to improve continuously. This philosophy manifests itself through the estate’s constant search for excellence, by means of research and experimentation. The property is always evolving, with constantly updated vineyard management practices and winemaking technology. San Felice has a great diversity of terroirs spread across three traditional regions: Chianti Classico, Montalcino, and the Maremma. For decades, San Felice has maintained an authentic relationship between local traditions and the characteristics of their wines.

Leonardo Bellaccini, the oenologist of San Felice Wine Estates, will be the night speaker. He was born in Siena in 1963, where he graduated in Viticulture and Enology in 1983 from the Higher Institute. He completed internships in France (Bordeaux) and Switzerland (Sion). After winning a scholarship from the Chianti Classico Consortium, he joined San Felice, quickly rising to become its winemaker and quality manager for wines and extra virgin olive oil. Curious, creative, and always ready for new challenges, Leonardo Bellaccini has interests ranging from enology to gastronomy, to the extent that he has been welcomed as an honorary member of the prestigious Italian Cuisine Academy.
