Marchesi Antinori, Tignanello, 2022

Elegant Mid-Weight and nicely Balanced Tignanello

"The 2022 Tignanello is such an elegant, poised wine. Brisk acids cut through a core of red Sangiovese fruit. Crushed flowers, mint, cinnamon, rose petal and a kiss of French oak appear later, adding notable brightness. The 2022 is a decidedly mid-weight Tignanello, but all the elements are very nicely balanced throughout. Tignanello saw rain episodes at the end of the season, like most properties, but steep, well-draining hillsides were a clear advantage." Vious 95/100

• 80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc
