2002 Bodegas Vega Sicilia Unico bodegas-roda Another of Bollinger’s distinctive featuresVega Sicilia makes three cuves: Unico is the flagship, and the Reserva Especial is a blend of several of the best vintages. Traditionally they would be aged for 10 years or more before release, although this has been reduced in recent vintages. The junior wine, Valbuena, is made from younger vines, and is released after five years in American oak.
