About this listen
In this episode of Read Between the Wines, we return to the heart of Tuscany to meet Leonardo Bellaccini, the legendary oenologist of San Felice. With over 40 years at the estate, Bellaccini shares how tradition and innovation work hand in hand to shape some of Italy’s most iconic wines.
We explore the story behind Vigorello, the first Super Tuscan from Chianti Classico, and the revival of Pugnitello, a once-forgotten grape now central to San Felice’s identity. Bellaccini also opens up about the estate’s commitment to sustainability, including regenerative viticulture and adapting to climate change without irrigation.
This conversation goes beyond winemaking—it's about preserving culture, respecting the land, and understanding wine as more than just a drink. As Bellaccini says, “Wine makes your soul richer.”
Whether you're a Tuscan wine lover or simply curious about what makes great wine possible, this episode is a thoughtful and inspiring listen.
