The 2017 vintage is characterized by its complexity, elegance and excellent balance.

Complex aromas and refined flavor

• Nose: Rich notes of ripe red fruits such as cherries on alcohol, sour cherries, raspberries and plums, complemented by delicate spicy aromas of clove and licorice; sweet balsamic notes of mint and chocolate complete the complex bouquet.
• Flavor: Full-bodied and lively with supple, velvety tannins. The long finish and lingering aftertaste bring back the aromatic notes observed in the nose.

Ideal wine-food pairings

• Dishes: Perfect with grilled red meat, game dishes and rich stews.
• Cheeses: Excellent with aged cheeses such as Pecorino or Parmesan.
• Storage potential: May continue to age for several more years for additional complexity.

Craftsmanship of Tenuta Tignanello

The grapes for this wine are carefully harvested and selected by hand. After gentle pressing, the wine undergoes fermentation in tapered oak barrels, followed by approximately 14-16 months of aging in French and Hungarian oak barriques. After bottling, the wine rests for another 12 months in bottle before release, adding to its harmonious character.
