FEATURES
🏰The 2020 Antinori Tenuta Tignanello Chianti Classico Riserva is a consistently outstanding expression from the iconic Tignanello vineyard, a historic label of the Antinori family since 2011. The 2020 growing season in Chianti Classico was marked by mild, dry winter weather, early budbreak, average spring rainfall, and hot summer months without extreme heat, culminating in light September rainfall that ensured complete phenolic maturity. This Riserva is a blend of 90% Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, showcasing greater depth, structure, and longevity.
【Experience an elegant and richly fragrant bouquet of cherry, black currant, black olive, and sweet dried tobacco leaf, leading to a dry, full-bodied, and opulent palate with a spicy, long, dark fruity finish and firm, fine tannins.】 Fresh notes of red fruit, floral hints of mallow and lavender, accented by sweet white chocolate and piquant spicy aromas, contribute to a smooth, mouth-filling experience with vibrant tannins.
🍴 This superb Chianti Classico Riserva is an ideal partner for hearty stews, sausage cassoulet, and meaty lasagna. It also excels with Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragù with pappardelle, aged Pecorino Toscano, and porcini mushroom risotto.
🥂 Perfect for a sophisticated Italian dinner, a special gathering with rich, flavorful cuisine, or for cellaring to witness its impressive evolution over the next two decades.
Serving Suggestion: Great now, but will be even better from 2026 as it continues to evolve in bottle. Drink through 2045.
