Tignanello Half 2020

HED99552 37.5cl 14%
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.
The 2020 Tignanello is so primary, so intensely fruit-driven, that it almost tastes like a barrel sample. A burst of red Sangiovese fruit opens first, followed by hints of blood orange, cinnamon, spice, dried flowers and mocha later. Time in the glass brings out striking dimension. In 2020, Tignanello is wonderfully sleek and racy, with fine tannins that lie below a core of bright, sculpted fruit. The balance here is just sublime. I can`t wait to revisit the 2020 with age."We are gradually increasing the Cabernet Franc in Tignanello to balance the greater richness that today`s warmer seasons are giving to our Sangioveses," Antinori CEO Renzo Cotarella told me. - Antonio Galloni

Antinori

While technically a wine rather than a winery, Marchesi Antinori's flagship red wine, Supertuscan Tignanello, has become an icon in its own right. Produced from the Tignanello estate, this wine is one of Italy’s most recognized and celebrated fine wines. Tignanello is a blend of mostly Sangiovese wines with lesser parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, showcasing the Antinori family's mastery in winemaking.

Situated in the heart of Chianti Classico, in the gently rolling hillsides between the Greve and Pesa river valleys, the Tenuta Tignanello vineyard produces these influential wines. 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 not to use white grapes. This innovation has made it a modern red wine that stands out among its peers.

The Antinori estate also produces a superb Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon Grappa, a full-bodied Bordeaux-style red called Guado al Tasso, and delicate yet refined white wines from Castello della Sala, adding to its portfolio of iconic wines. The legacy of the Antinori family is evident in every bottle of these exceptional Italian wines.
