Tignanello is a milestone. It is produced with a selection of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.

Tignanello 2019 is in full harmony with the vintage. Intense ruby ​​red, in some respects, lively. On the nose, notes of ripe red fruit combine with pleasant hints of fresh blackberry and berries. The aromas of vanilla, bitter chocolate and light spices are delicate and perfectly integrated. On the palate it is vibrant, with silky and refined tannins. Balanced and intense with a long, complex and persistent finish.

It was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barrique, the first modern red wine blended with non-traditional varieties, such as Cabernet, and among the first red wines in Chianti not to use white grapes.
