Marchesi Antinori's Tignanello 2018 exemplifies the essence of Tuscany's Super Tuscan movement. This vintage is composed of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, resulting in a wine of notable depth and finesse.

Tasting Notes: The wine displays intense aromas of ripe red fruit, black cherries, and sour cherries, enhanced by sweet hints of vanilla, mint, and delicate sensations of white pepper and myrtle. On the palate, it is rich and structured, featuring velvety tannins and a prolonged, complex finish. 

Vintage Characteristics: The 2018 growing season in Chianti Classico began with normal winter weather in terms of temperatures and rainfall. Despite these conditions, the vines began to break a week earlier than seasonal averages in this area.

Food Pairing Suggestions: This wine pairs well with grilled meats, wild game, pasta with truffle, and aged cheeses.
