Tignanello Marchesi Antinori 2016

From the historic Marchesi Antinori winery, an icon of the Tuscan wine scene and a pioneer of the Super Tuscan concept, this 2016 Tignanello represents the pinnacle of elegance, complexity, and aging potential. The 2016 vintage was an exceptional one in Tuscany, with ideal weather conditions that allowed the grapes to ripen perfectly, resulting in a wine that, while still young, already displays a rare harmony and depth, destined to grow with time.

Produced from a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc grapes, with an alcohol content of 14%, the wine has been aged for 14-16 months in French and Hungarian oak barriques. It presents a complex and layered bouquet of black cherry, berries, notes of tobacco, sweet spices, and a touch of balsamic. On the palate, it is powerful yet refined and elegant, with dense yet smooth tannins and a still lively freshness. The finish is remarkably long and deep, leaving an impression of great harmony. It pairs magnificently with rich red meat dishes, game, and mature cheeses.
