Product details
The Marchesi Antinori Tignanello 2020 is a masterpiece of craftsmanship that reflects a dedication to precision and excellence in winemaking. The growing season’s challenging climate necessitated meticulous attention both in the vineyard and the cellar, ensuring that only the finest grapes were selected. Fermentation in truncated conical tanks preserved the wine’s rich aromas, deep color, and refined tannins, while rigorous sampling guided every stage of production. Aged for 15 months in a blend of French and Hungarian oak barrels, followed by 12 months in bottle, this iconic blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc achieves remarkable complexity and balance.
Intensely ruby red, the Tignanello 2020 captivates with a sophisticated bouquet of ripe red fruit—cherries, strawberries, and blackberries—complemented by floral notes of violets and roses. Layers of roasted coffee, cocoa powder, and hints of aromatic herbs add depth to its aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine opens vibrantly, evolving into a velvety, multi-dimensional experience. Spicy nuances of pepper and licorice intertwine with herbal undertones, culminating in a fresh, elegant, and lingering finish. This vintage is a true testament to the Antinori legacy and a must-try for lovers of fine Italian wine.
