Marchesi Antinori Tignanello 2020

Tignanello was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, the first contemporary red wine blended with untraditional varieties (specifically Cabernet) and one of the first red wines in the Chianti Classico region that didnt use white grapes. Tignanello is a milestone. Its produced with a selection of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Tignanello 2020 is made primarily with Sangiovese and small percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The wine displays remarkable aromatic complexity, showcasing ripe red fruits such as cherries, strawberries, and blackberries. Delicate floral nuances of violets, mallow blossoms, and roses add to its allure. Completing the bouquet are enticing hints of roasted coffee and cocoa powder. With a vibrant entrance, the wine unfolds into a velvety, multi-layered texture that gently caresses the palate. The finish is marked by the interplay of spicy notes of pepper and liquorice.
