Description
In a nutshell:
The wonderfully powerful yet elegant famous Super Tuscan.
The lowdown:
The Tignanello estate in the heart of Chianti has long been an innovator. Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc were first planted in the 1920s and first used in the wine in the '70s, the first estate to do so and Tignanello was the first Sangiovese wine to be aged in small oak barrels. The 2020 Tignanello is so primary, so intensely fruit-driven, that it almost tastes like a barrel sample. A burst of red Sangiovese fruit opens first, followed by hints of blood orange, cinnamon, spice, dried flowers, and mocha develop later. Time in the glass brings out striking dimensions. In 2020 Tignanello is wonderfully sleep and racy, with fine tannins that lie below a core of bright, sculpted fruit.
When to drink:
Full-bodied, long, and extremely elegant. Can be enjoyed now or allowed to age for a few years.
