Tignanello 2019 is a Supertuscan red wine from the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany. Marchesi Antinori is a globally renowned producer, celebrated as a pioneer of the Supertuscan movement. This bottling, a blend of Sangiovese with smaller portions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, is sourced from the Tignanello vineyard on limestone-rich soils. It presents a complex bouquet of red fruits, pomegranate and spice, with elegant sensations of vanilla and dried flowers. The palate is full-bodied and graceful, with silky, vibrant tannins and a long finish. The wine is aged in a combination of French and Hungarian oak barrels, a signature of the producer`s innovative style.
