It was the first Sangiovese wine to be aged in small oak barrels, the first modern red wine to use such non-traditionalvarietiesas Cabernet in the blend,and among the first red wines from the Chianti Classico area to be produced without white grapes. Intensely ruby red in colour, Tignanello 2020 has exception alaromatic complexity: notes of ripe red fruit especially cherries, strawberries and blackberries are accompanied by delicate floral hints of violets, mallow blossoms and roses. Its bouquet is completed by notes of roasted coffee and cocoa powder. The vibrant entry gives way to a caressing layered mouthfeel. The wine closes with spicy notes of pepper and licorice that merge with pleasant sensations of aromatic herbs for afresh, lengthy finish.
