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.

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.

This is where tradition combines with advanced technology. The 18th century cellars, carved out of rugged limestone, are extensive. You’ll be fascinated by the rows of red stained oak barrels and halls of vast steel vats, temperature controlled for fermentation. You’ll see teams of experts tasting, blending, balancing to produce the finest Chianti Classico. Their passion created in 1968 the first Supertuscan, our renowned Vigorello.

Winter 2019 was characterized by rains and snowfalls that allowed the deposit of water reserves; average spring temperatures favored an early april budbreak and high summer temperatures in June, July and August brought the grapes to perfect ripening. In general, the 2019 vintage has produced well balanced wines with an excellent aging potential.
