2019 Antinori Tignanello

Despite the fierce reputation of Super Tuscans, Tignanello insists on a certain civilized restraint, a departure from brute force that feels particularly inspired in 2019. This isn't just Sangiovese playing dress-up with Bordeaux grapes; it's a thoughtful conversation where Tuscan terroir and French varietals find common ground, resulting in a wine that demands contemplation and rewards with every sip. It's the kind of red that makes you want to linger, perhaps with a well-aged cheese and a good story.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Ripe black cherry, plum, tobacco, and hints of leather and spice.
• Palate: Rich dark fruit flavours, with notes of chocolate, coffee, and a savoury minerality.
• Finish: Long and persistent, with well-integrated tannins and a lingering, elegant finish.

Perfect Food Pairings

This complex and robust wine pairs beautifully with hearty dishes:

• Antipasti: Aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, cured meats, or truffle-infused bruschetta.
• Mains: Braised lamb shanks, grilled Florentine steak (Bistecca alla Fiorentina), or rich mushroom risotto.
• Cheese: Aged Pecorino Toscano, mature cheddar, or a selection of strong, flavourful cheeses.
