San Felice Vigorello 2010

Made for the first time in 1968, Vigorello was the first of a new generation of Tuscan wines that subsequently became the famous Supertuscans. Its blend is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pugnitello, an ancient native grape revived by San Felice, with a small addition of Petit Verdot. It matures some 20 months in French oak barriques and then 8-10 months in the bottle. Grapes: Pugnitello 35%, Merlot 30%, Cabernet Sauvignon 30%, Petit Verdot 5% Tasting Notes: Dense, garnet-flecked ruby. Releases a rich medley of red currant, sweet spice, and pungent under brush. Warm and rich in the moth, with expressive tannins and smooth hints of vanilla.
