Tignanello · Rosso Toscana IGT 2020

  The “Tignanello” Rosso Toscana from Marchesi Antinori's Tenuta Tignanello estate is a milestone in modern Tuscan winemaking. It combines the traditional indigenous Sangiovese variety with the international Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grape varieties to create an outstanding cuvée. The grapes come from the vineyard of the same name, whose southwestern exposure and limestone and slate soils offer ideal conditions for concentrated and expressive ripeness. The highest standards are applied in production: selection in the vineyard, controlled fermentation, and aging in small French and Hungarian oak barriques ensure structure and depth without masking the liveliness of the fruit.

In the glass, Tignanello displays an intense ruby red color with violet reflections, revealing a complex bouquet of ripe cherries, Amarena cherries, and pomegranate seeds, underpinned by elegant hints of violets, balsamic nuances, and a touch of vanilla and cedar wood. On the palate, the wine impresses with velvety tannins, a distinctive structure, and a harmonious balance between density and freshness — a long, impressive finish rounds off the experience. This wine combines heritage, innovation, and craftsmanship—a full expression of Antinori's vision and a companion for special moments. - Gerardo [TS10/21]
