Sor Ugo 2021, DOC Bolgheri
Sor Ugo, Aia Vecchia's flagship wine, is a tribute to their family's winemaking legacy. This Bordeaux-blend Super Tuscan, crafted by enologist Tibor Gal, showcases the best of Bolgheri.
Produced by Aia Vecchia
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. Aia Vecchia recruited well-known agronomist Daniel Schuster to assist with choosing varieties, clones, and different rootstocks, which come directly from Bordeaux in order to ensure the quality.
The first vintage of Aia Vecchia’s flagship wine, “Lagone,” was in 1998.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of ripe cherries and helichrysum lead to a full-bodied palate with velvety tannins and a complex array of flavors: cherry, menthol, rosemary, black currant, licorice, and coffee. The long, minty finish leaves you wanting more. Enjoy with red meat, game, or hard cheeses.
