Summary

Tignanello 2012 is a distinguished Super Tuscan from Antinori, crafted in Chianti Classico with a blend of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc. This wine showcases the region's unique marl and alberese soils, with a hot, dry growing season followed by timely September rains contributing to its complexity. On the nose, it reveals aromas of blackcurrants, blueberries, and floral notes, while the palate is rich and full-bodied, featuring black cherry, crushed raspberry, and a blend of spices. Well-structured with firm yet polished tannins and vibrant acidity, the wine offers a lasting finish, indicating great potential for aging.
