Marchesi Antinori Tignanello 2021

Descrizione

The Tenuta (Estate) Tignanello is located in the centre of the Chianti Classico appellation, between the Greve and Pesa river basins. The estate’s classic wines, Solaia and Tignanello, have been named by the international press as among the most influential wines in Italy’s viticultural history.
The Antinori family has expressed its beliefs and working philosophy in these vineyards more than anyplace else: to blend tradition and modernity with wines that are firmly and truly related to their places of origin.
Tignanello is a 14-month-old mix of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc matured in French and Hungarian oak.
The Tignanello 2019 is characterised by a deep ruby red colour with notes of strawberries and pomegranate that give way to exquisite aromas of apricots and peaches, as well as vanilla, dried flowers, chocolate, and nutmeg. Coffee, caramel, and aromatic Mediterranean herbs round out the scent. The palate is smooth and mouth-filling, with silky, lively tannins that lend vibrancy, sapidity, and a long flavour profile. The aftertaste has roasted coffee and dark chocolate flavours.
