Marchesi Antinori Tignanello (2021)

Tuscany, Italy

Varietal(s):79% Sangiovese, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc

Shows a quintessentially pretty taste profile with tart fruit flavors, redcurrant, tea leaf, heritage rose, crushed white pepper, licorice, nutmeg, clove and chopped mint. It opens slowly to reveal more richness and exuberance with time, becoming downright voluptuous and heady a short while later. The through line, however, remains the bright freshness and minerality of Sangiovese.
