Aia Vecchia 'Sor Ugo' - Bolgheri

2018

50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 15%  Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot

Bolgheri, Italy

After generations in the wine sector, the Pellegrini family founded Aia Vecchia in 1996 with the mission to create a portfolio of small lot, high-quality Super Tuscan blends. With the help of the famous Hungarian winemaker Tibor Gal, the Pellegrini family purchased exceptional property in the Bolgheri DOC. The fusion of the microclimate, terrain and elevation creates an ideal location for growing premium grapes. This Italian blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 15%  Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot is round and rich without being overpowering. It is spicy on the mid-palate and lively on the back-end, with flavors of black currant, licorice and coffee, followed by a slightly minty finish!
