Tignanello is a traditional wine Tuscany , precious, refined and of great luxury. It tells the history of the territory and the capacity for innovation of the cellar masters of the Tignanello dei estate Marchesi Antinori . It was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barrique, the first modern red wine blended with non-traditional varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, and among the first red wines in Chianti not to use white grapes. The Tignanello of the Marchesi Antinori is a milestone. It is produced with a selection of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.After aging in barriques for approximately 12-14 months, the wine rests in the bottle for a further year of refinement.
Characteristics of the Tignanello from Cantina Antinori
Upon organoleptic examination, this sensational Tuscan red wine shows a very intense ruby red. The scent on the nose offers a very intense and fruity smell, with hints of red fruits, vanilla and cocoa notes. On the palate it is deep and velvety, with rich freshness and soft tannins.
Recommended pairings while tasting this fantastic Tuscan red wine
An ideal wine to pair with game and game dishes, but also with mature cheeses or, like all great wines, it is also wonderful to sip on its own. It should be served at 18°-20°C in a large glass which allows the wine to oxygenate in order to encourage the sensorial notes to be released and invade the taster's nose. It is recommended to let the wine breathe 1-2 hours before serving it.
