Vigorello

First made in 1968 as 100% Sangiovese, Vigorello is considered one of the earliest Super Tuscans. The modern blend (roughly 35% Pugnitello, 30% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot) reintroduces the estate's revived native Pugnitello to emphasize Tuscan character alongside international varieties, fermenting 20-25 days on the skins and aging 24 months in French oak barriques.
