Vigorello | Range | Agricola San Felice

Made for the first time in 1968, Vigorello was the first of a new generation of Tuscan wines that subsequently became known as Supertuscans. The blend now also includes some Pugnitello, an ancient native grape revived by San Felice, in order to emphasize its Tuscan character.

Merlot and Pugnitello: Medium-textured, predominantly calcareous marl breakdown of alberese and galestro limestones, with abundant gravel- pebble mixture. Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot: silt-sandy soil from Pliocene.
