Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva Tenuta Tignanello 2020, 75 cl

An intense ruby red in colour, the wine's nose shows ripe red fruit along with sustained sensations of vanilla and spices. The palate is ample and enveloping, balanced and vigorous with soft and silky tannins and the finish and aftertaste and long and persistent. The key word to look out for here is the Tignanello which is the source of all the grapes for this tremendous wine. Would we recommend? In the blink of an eye. The Antinori estate remains to be one of the oldest and most prestigious of wineries throughout Italy. Remarkably it is now the family's 26th generation that has taken over the reigns- there can be very few wineries in the World that can make that kind of claim. Probably most famous for their range of Chianti wines from Northern Italy which we showcase on the site, they also have well established wineries further South around Orvieto; more centrally near Montalcino and on the West Coast near Bolgheri. Lovely, ample palate and extremely well balanced
