Antinori Tignanello 2007 IGT


Antinori Tignanello 2007 IGT

This wine is made up of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, and were harvested by hand after a good season, they were then fermented at 27C and matured in oak barrels for 12 months followed by a further year in bottle before being shipped.

The wine was medium to deep ruby with no garnet rim, the aromas were of red and black fruits including cherry and blackcurrants with a spicy menthol edge and a hint of savouriness. The gripping savoury tannins were ripe but obvious, flavours of red and black fruits and spices are supported by good acidity and silky body. A finish that has spice and a savouriness, a wine to be kept and enjoyed.Price around £50 a bottle
