AIA VECCHIA SOR UGO BOLGHERI ROSSO SUPERIORE 2018 – 750ML Supply

Description
Â
Sor Ugo is Aia Vecchia s flagship wine, a Bordeaux-blend Super Tuscan created by the prominent enologist Tibor Gal. It is named after Ugo, the first Pellegrini family member who started to work with grapes and wines a century ago (Sor is an old honorific, short for Signor). As the winery s most important and awarded wine, Sor Ugo represents the elegance and strength of Bolgheri. The wine is composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, & Petit Verdot and is aged in 100% new French Allier oak barrels for at least 18 months as well as 12 months in bottle.Â
In the glass, the wine shows colors of red garnet accompanied by a bouquet of cherries, menthol and a hint of rosemary. On the palate, the wine is round and rich without being overpowering. It is spicy on the mid-palate and lively on the back-end, with flavors of black current, licorice and coffee, followed by a long-lasting finish that is slightly minty and boasts a juicy mouth-watering sensation.Serving suggestions: An ideal wine for red meat, game-based dishes and hard cheeses.
