Marchesi Antinori 2012 Tignanello Red (Toscana)

Country: Italy / Tignanello
Variety: Red Blend Tuscany
Winery: Marchesi Antinori / Toscana

Here’s a structured red with lots of finesse. It opens with alluring aromas of fragrant blue flowers, red berries, baking spices and exotic herbs while the firm, vibrant palate delivers black cherry, crushed raspberry, clove, orange zest, licorice and a sprinkling of white pepper. It’s still young but well balanced, with tightly woven but polished tannins and fresh acidity. Drink 2017–2024.
