If there is one bottle that completely rewrote the rulebook for Italian wine, it is this one. Tignanello is the original "Super Tuscan," famously created by the legendary Marchesi Antinori family. They made the bold decision to blend their fantastic local Sangiovese grapes with powerful French varieties, resting the wine in small oak barrels to create something entirely new and incredibly special. The 2020 vintage is an absolute masterpiece of power and elegance. Pour a glass, and you are immediately struck by a deep, vibrant ruby colour. On the nose, it delivers a massive wave of ripe dark cherries, crushed blackberries, and a comforting, rich layer of sweet vanilla, dark chocolate, and warming baking spice. In the mouth, it feels wonderfully rich and velvet-smooth. It is full-bodied and robust, yet incredibly refined, balancing those intensely dark, sweet fruits with a mouth-watering freshness that keeps you coming back for another sip. It leaves a long, deeply satisfying finish that lingers beautifully. A wine with this much character demands a brilliant, flavour-packed meal. It is the absolute ultimate match for a slow-roasted leg of lamb with plenty of rosemary, a hearty, classic beef Wellington, or a generous, slow-cooked beef ragù served over fresh pasta. It is a true icon of the wine world that delivers on every single level. [#intro]Its Tig!...the iconic Super-Tuscan red produced by Antinori...[/intro]
