Aia Vecchia Lagone Toscana 2022

Aia Vecchia is centered around their superstar Hungarian winemaker, Tibor Gal who left Ornellaia to start this own thing. Here he delivers big time on his goal to give people “the highest possible quality at a reasonable price.” He way over-delivers with the 2022 bottling using Cabernet Franc as his secret ingredient which adds elegance and depth here to mingle with Sangiovese and Merlot. Thats what makes Super Tuscans still so compelling – when put in the right hands, you unlock infinite creativity and blending potential.

Parker’s Wine Advocate perfectly captures what makes this producer so special: “Aia Vecchia is one of the more under-the-radar producers in Bolgheri, but the wines rarely fail to deliver the goods.” Likewise, Antonio Galloni described the ‘Lagone’ bottling as delivering “tons of Bolgheri opulence in a forward, lush style.”
