Territory and wine style

Produced from the famous Tignanello vineyard, in the Tignanello Estate, this wine is born in a hilly area of Tuscany characterized by calcareous soils with tuff elements, at an altitude between 350 and 400 meters above sea level. The exposure and the territory contribute to defining a profile of great finesse, balance, and evolutionary capacity. The blend is primarily based on Sangiovese, with a small part of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, in a style that combines Tuscan tradition and contemporary vision. The 2020 vintage was managed with great attention in the vineyard and in the cellar, to enhance aromatic precision, tannic elegance, and complexity.

Tasting notes

On the nose, it offers a rich and layered bouquet, with notes of cherry, strawberry, and blackberry, accompanied by floral nuances of violet, mallow, and rose. Then emerge hints of toasted coffee and cocoa, which add depth and definition. The tasting is vibrant at the entrance, then enveloping and progressive, with elegant and well-integrated tannins. Freshness accompanies the gustatory development and supports a long, spicy finish, with hints of pepper, licorice, and aromatic herbs.

Recommended pairings
