Super Tuscan Vigorello is a Bordeaux blend with a touch of Tuscany. Produced on the Tenuta San Felice estate in Castelnuovo Berardenga, this wine is made from a careful selection of Pugnitello, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot grapes, grown with passion and respect for nature. The 2020 vintage, marked by a mild winter and early budding, put the Sangiovese vines to the test, reducing yields. However, the spring and summer, not excessively hot, allowed the grapes to reach perfect ripeness.

Tasting notes: Poured into the glass, the Super Tuscan Vigorello wine presents itself with an intense and deep ruby color, with slight garnet reflections. On the nose, it is an explosion of aromas: notes of blackcurrant jam intertwine with hints of sweet spices, such as cinnamon and vanilla, and a touch of undergrowth. On the palate, the wine is warm and enveloping, with important but well-integrated tannins and a balanced acidity. The finish is long and persistent, with a pleasant return of fruit and spices.

Pairings: ideal with important meat-based dishes, such as grills, roasts, game and mature cheeses. Try it with a fillet with green pepper or with a pecorino di fossa.

Fun fact: Super Tuscan Vigorello was the first Tuscan wine to break with the tradition of Chianti Classico, introducing international vines such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. A wine that has marked the history of Italian winemaking.
