Merchant's description
A blend of 80% Sangiovese, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Cabernet Franc from a single vineyard in the heart of Chianti Classico. The 2016 is bold and vivacious in its generous delivery of black fruit, spice, earth and herbal fragrance. This is one of the best Tignanello ever produced.
