Tignanello 2023 Toscana Rosso IGT

Tignanello is a Tuscan red wine from Tenuta Tignanello, made by Antinori. It is built on Sangiovese, over 80% of the blend, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and spends about 12 months in barrique before a further year of ageing in bottle. It was the first Sangiovese aged in barrique, the first modern wine blended with non-traditional varieties, and among the first Chianti reds made without white grapes in the blend. It suits rich meat dishes, roasts and braises, including game. Intense ruby with violet reflections. The nose is ripe, with dark fruit, plum and cherry leading towards liquorice and mint. The palate is rich and harmonious, with good acidity and structured, soft tannins.
