Territory and wine style

This Toscana IGT comes from a vineyard located on limestone soils with tuff elements, facing southwest and situated between 350 and 400 meters above sea level at the Tenuta di Tignanello. Its identity is linked to a winemaking project that has marked the history of Italian wine, as Tignanello was among the first Tuscan reds to enhance Sangiovese with non-traditional varieties like Cabernet, offering a more modern and structured profile without losing the connection to the territory. The 2000 vintage fits into this philosophy with balance, depth, and finesse.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red with violet reflections. On the nose, it offers a mature and enveloping profile, with notes of dark fruit, plum pulp, and cherry, followed by hints of licorice and mint that enhance the olfactory complexity. On the palate, it is rich, harmonious, and ready, with a structured yet soft tannic texture, supported by good acidity that provides momentum and precision. The sip is savory, balanced, and persistent, with a finish that evokes a pleasant sensation of taste sweetness and great continuity.
