San Felice Vigorello Toscana IGT 2018
An Iconic Tuscan Blend Celebrating 50 Years of Excellence
Crafted in the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany by renowned producer San Felice, this limited-edition 2018 Vigorello commemorates half a century of winemaking mastery. A bold symphony of native and international grapes—35% rare Pugnitello, 30% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Petit Verdot—it captures Tuscany’s terroir with Alberese limestone soils intensifying Pugnitello’s structure while French varieties lend velvety depth.
Critics unanimously praise its balance: Wine Spectator’s 94-point review highlights “dense tannins and superb balance,” noting blackberry-plum richness without heaviness. James Suckling (93 pts) adores its vibrant blackcurrant-chocolate notes lifted by lemongrass freshness—perfect now or cellared. Decanter (93 pts) applauds its “velvety yet refreshing” texture, where clove and graphite minerality shine through Cabernet-Merlot finesse.
Winemakers describe a garnet-ruby pour bursting with red currant and sweet spice, warmed by vanilla-kissed tannins. At 13.5% ABV, it’s ideal for grilled lamb or wild game—and sublime with aged Pecorino. Though approachable today, its acidity-tannin synergy promises evolution; cellar until 2025 for peak complexity through 2050+.
A collector’s milestone vintage—only 2,800 cases made.
