Territory and wine style

The Tignanello comes from the eponymous vineyard of the Tenuta Tignanello, in the heart of Tuscany, in an area historically suited for the production of great reds. The Toscana IGT denomination tells of a modern style free from rigidity, capable of enhancing the best meeting between Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. The result is a wine with personality, recognizable for its balance, depth, and territorial imprint, with a contemporary vision that has set a standard.

On the nose, it offers a complex and refined profile, where cherry, ripe sour cherry, pomegranate, and violet emerge, accompanied by balsamic nuances and slight hints of vanilla and cotton candy. On the palate, the wine shows sweet and flavorful tannins, a dynamic drinkability well supported by freshness. The structure is significant yet harmonious, with a long and persistent finish that recalls the sensations perceived on the nose.
