Tignanello 2015 is a red wine produced by Antinori - IGT Tuscany.
Tignanello is a milestone. It was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, the first contemporary red wine blended with untraditional varieties (specifically Cabernet) and one of the first red wines in the Chianti Classico region that didn’t use white grapes.
Tignanello is bottled only in favorable vintages, and was not produced in 1972, 1973,1974, 1976, 1984, 1992,and 2002.
TASTING NOTES
Very intense ruby red in color.
On the nose, the notes of ripe red fruit, together with cassis and blackberries,are in perfect balance with the hints of chocolate and liquorice.
The palate is rich,ample, and vibrant and is endowed with lively and silky tannins which give a great complexity and an important length to the finish and aftertaste.
