Antinori Tignanello 2020

Antinori Tignanello 2020 stands as a benchmark Super Tuscan, representing one of Italy's most influential and iconic wines. This vintage blends Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, aged in French and Hungarian oak barrels. The 2020 vintage is characterized by complexity and depth. The nose reveals intense aromas of ripe red fruit, cherries, and plums, beautifully intertwined with subtle notes of mint and eucalyptus. These primary fruit elements are complemented by a tertiary bouquet of roasted coffee and cocoa powder. On the palate, it offers a vibrant entry leading to a layered, caressing mouthfeel. The structure is supported by polished tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is fresh and lengthy, featuring spicy notes of pepper and licorice that merge with pleasant sensations of aromatic herbs. This Tignanello is approachable now but promises exceptional evolution with age.
