Tasting notes

97 Points - The wine Advocate

To hit the market in June, the 2016 Tignanello is a rock-solid wine and a stunning beauty. The wine offers an impeccable level of precision and laser-focus delivery of fruits, spices, tilled earth, espresso beans and Mediterranean herbs.

This vintage follows the classic blending formula of 80% Sangiovese with about 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Cabernet Franc. The vines are now 15 to 20 years old. Compared to the 2015 vintage that ultimately appeared chewier and succulent, this expression from the iconic 2016 vintage is more vibrant, nervous, and jazzed. It shows more savoury spice, saltiness and minerality, with a beautifully integrated quality of tannins.
