The Tenuta Tignanello estate is in the heart of Chianti Classico, in the gently rolling hillsides between the Greve and Pesa river valleys. It extends over an area of 319 hectares (788 acres), of which 127 (313 acres) are dedicated to vines. Two of the estate's prized vineyards are on the same hillside, Tignanello and Solaia, on soils that originated from marine marlstone from the Pliocene period rich in limestone and schist.

Eye : Very intense ruby red.

Nose : Well expressed varietal aromas with hints of dark berries.

Mouth : Heavy, dense and vibrant with a complex structure thanks to the support of the acidity. The aftertaste is long and persistent, with notes of chocolate, coffee and marmalade. The beautifully managed tannin of the wine and the wood make Tignanello a very complex, elegant and sophisticated wine.

Food pairing : pasta, meat, game, mature cheese, pork.

Serving temperature : 16°C
