2017 Antinori Tignanello

A seasoned traveller with a touch of rebellious flair, the 2017 Antinori Tignanello carries the storied hills of Tuscany on its shoulders. This Sangiovese-led blend, with its clever whispers of Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc, offers a compelling journey from dark fruit and tobacco notes to a wonderfully savoury, persistent finish. It’s a wine that demands thoughtful company and a hearty plate, speaking volumes of its heritage without ever needing to shout.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Ripe black cherry, plum, and notes of tobacco, with hints of leather and subtle floral undertones.
• Palate: Full-bodied and richly textured, with dark fruit flavours, fine-grained tannins, and a savoury minerality.
• Finish: Enduring and complex, with persistent dark fruit, spice, and a lingering, elegant finish.

Perfect Food Pairings

• Italian Classics: Osso buco, rich pasta dishes with wild boar ragu, or grilled Florentine steak.
• Game: Roasted duck, venison loin, or lamb chops.
• Cheese: Aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino Toscano.
