Aia Vecchia is the name of an old building which is today the centre of a company deep in the Tuscany countryside between Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci. This is an area where the particularly favorable microclimate and ideally suited soils make possible the production of very high quality wines. The particular position provides the vines with exceptional light, both direct sunlight, and sunlight reflected by the sea; allowing for an early harvest.
The property consists of 69 hectars of open ground: 48 are vineyards, 30 of which are under the Bolgheri DOC. The planted varieties are Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, which are used to produce Lagone and Sor Ugo. In the cellar situated in Castagneto Carducci there are 2000 barriques.
• Lagone's varietal blend: Merlot 60%, Cabernet Sauvignon 35%, Cabernet Franc 5%.
•Aging: Small barrique for at least 12 months.
•Bottle Aged: 6 months.
•Alcohol content: 13% vol.
•Serving temperature: 18°C.
Lagone has a warm deep red color close to purple. Delicate aromas of Mediterranean wood and vanilla emphasize the structured and elegant taste with intense notes of wild berries, ripe juicy sour cherries and hints of sweet spices that leave the palate satisfied and pleasantly sweet and dry. Tibor Gál has been able to create a blend marked by the Italian "terroir" together with the "finesse" of a great French red wine. We love the wine for its bright red fruits and fresh acidity. A perfect accompaniment to almost any type of cuisine.
Aromas of plum and dark fruits lead to a full body, with velvety tannins and a soft, caressing finish. Minerally and floral. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best after 2011. 10,800 cases made. - 90 points, Wine Spectator
