Review Date: 05/2020This fragrant, savory red carries aromas of underbrush, plum, blue flower, cocoa and camphor on the nose. The polished palate boasts juicy Marasca cherry, ripe blackberry, licorice, tobacco and an appealing hint of game. Silky tannins and bright acidity keep it balanced and elegant. *#1 Top 100 Cellar Selections of 2020* (KO)

Notes
The Antinori "Tignanello" Toscana 2016 is a standout vintage from one of Italy's most iconic wines. Produced by the historic Antinori family, whose winemaking legacy dates back to 1385, Tignanello was one of the original Super Tuscans, first introduced in 1971. The estate is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, where the unique combination of limestone-rich soils and a warm Tuscan climate create ideal conditions for crafting world-class wines. The 2016 vintage was marked by a near-perfect growing season, allowing the Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc grapes to reach optimal ripeness. The wine offers an aromatic bouquet of black cherries, blackcurrants, and a touch of tobacco, with hints of spice and vanilla from aging in French and Hungarian oak barrels. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with fine-grained tannins and a long, elegant finish. Tignanello 2016 is a superb representation of the estate's dedication to quality and innovation, embodying the best of Tuscan winemaking while pushing the boundaries of tradition. Ideal for pairing with grilled meats, pasta dishes, or enjoyed on its own, this wine is destined to age beautifully for many years.
