Marchesi Antinori Tignanello 2017
A monumental red for charisma and stylistic rigor. The olfactory profile alternates ripe red fruits with extremely refined spicy and balsamic notes. On the palate, it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the power of the vintage and the verticality of the terroir. A display of style that represents the pinnacle of modern Tuscan elegance.
Marchesi Antinori Tignanello 2017
The 2017 Tignanello from Marchesi Antinori is a monumental work that has managed to master one of the hottest and most challenging vintages of the last decade in Chianti Classico. In this vintage, the Sangiovese (the absolute protagonist) reached a generous phenolic ripeness, supported by the international structure of the Cabernets. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: clear notes of ripe cherry, red plum, and blackberry blend with deep hints of blond tobacco, black pepper, vanilla, and a mineral trace reminiscent of limestone and undergrowth. On the palate, it is sumptuous and three-dimensional; the entry is enveloping, dominated by a dense and silky body, with noble and already incredibly harmonious tannins that unfold towards a savory, endless finish with an aroma persistence that seems never-ending, characterized by an aristocratic balsamic freshness.
