Overview:
The San Felice 2017 Vigorello is a landmark Tuscan blend that traces its roots back to 1968 as one of the pioneering Supertuscans. This exceptional wine has evolved over the years, now incorporating Pugnitello, an ancient Tuscan grape revived by San Felice, to enhance its regional identity. The 2017 vintage, shaped by a mild winter and dry summer, delivered low yields but exceptional quality. The use of modern cultivation techniques helped preserve the grapes’ character, resulting in a wine that combines tradition with innovation.
Tasting Notes:
The Vigorello 2017 presents a deep, garnet-flecked ruby colour. Its complex bouquet unfolds with vibrant aromas of red currant, sweet spice, and the earthy richness of underbrush. On the palate, the wine is warm and full-bodied, with expressive tannins that lend structure and smooth hints of vanilla that add a layer of elegance. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a memorable impression of depth and warmth. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasts, particularly game and lamb, and complements the richness of aged cheeses.
