Tignanello 2023

The Tenuta Tignanello estate is in the heart of Chianti Classico, in the gently rolling hillsides between the Greve and Pesa river valleys. It extends over an area of 319 hectares (788 acres), of which 127 (313 acres) are dedicated to vines. Two of the estate's prized vineyards are on the same hillside, Tignanello and Solaia, on soils that originated from marine marlstone from the Pliocene period rich in limestone and schist.

Appearance: Deep ruby color with garnet and violet reflections, dense, bright and highly intense.

Nose: Complex and elegant bouquet of black cherry, blackberry, blackcurrant and plum, enriched by notes of blond tobacco, cedar, cocoa, sweet spices and delicate balsamic nuances.

Palate: Broad and refined attack supported by silky, perfectly integrated tannins. The balance between power, freshness and aromatic precision fully expresses the nobility of Tignanello. Long, persistent and remarkably harmonious finish.

Food Pairing: Ideal with rib steak, veal tenderloin, roasted lamb, fine game dishes, traditional Tuscan cuisine or aged cheeses.

Serving Temperature: Serve between 16 and 18°C after light decanting.
