Tasting notes
San Felice's 2003 Vigorello is 45% Sangiovese, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot. Varietal Sangiovese aromatics are wedded to the more generous expression of ripeness from the French grapes, but the wine retains an unmistakably Tuscan personality, most notably in the inner warmth of the fruit. Today it is an expansive, generous wine, but my impression is that the structure will eventually outlast the fruit and I would prefer to drink the wine sooner rather than later.
