The 2018 Tignanello from Marchesi Antinori represents a carefully considered expression of Tuscan winemaking philosophy, where Sangiovese forms the foundation whilst Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc provide structural refinement. Aged in oak, this wine develops complexity through the interplay of indigenous and international varieties, achieving the measured elegance characteristic of this celebrated Super-Tuscan. The vintage's moderate alcohol of 13.5 percent reflects restraint and balance. This wine pairs thoughtfully with aged cheeses, herb-crusted game birds, or well-rendered beef preparations that honour its architectural tannin structure and the Tuscan landscape from which it emerges.
