Description

This wine is sheer class in a glass! Tignanello is an iconic Italian wine that broke the traditional Italian wine mould with innovative winemaking methods. From a prized site in the heart of the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany, this is a masterful blend of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc.

TASTING NOTE: Intense ruby red colour. On the nose: filled with aromas of ripe red fruits cherries, strawberries, and blackberries with a delicate floral and cocoa note. On the palate: It’s stunning with a full body, silky tannins, and rich mouthfeel. Notes of rich red fruits and a spicy note of pepper, and herbs lend to a long finish. 14.5% alcohol by volume.

FOOD PAIRING, STORING AND SERVICE: This is a powerful wine, which is a real treat on its own. It works well with food also, and we would suggest pairing this with richer tomato-based dishes such as a meaty lasagne, or with grilled mushrooms and Pecorino cheese. Enjoy now with a decanting or keep easily until 2030 in half bottle.

ABOUT: The Antinori family have been making wine for over six centuries involving a mind-blowing 26 generations! Tignanello estate was purchased by the Antinoris back in 1850, but it was in the 20th Century that the wine as we know it was first produced. Albiera Antinori is the President of Antinori with her two sisters both working in the business, as well as her father Marchese Piero Antinori. Renzo Cotarella is the head winemaker and CEO.
