Tignanello is an red wine from Italy, in the Tuscany region (Central Italy, around Florence and Siena, stretching from the Apennines to the Tyrrhenian coast.), made principally from Sangiovese. The original Super Tuscan, first vintage 1971 — Sangiovese with oak and Cabernet lift.
In character, this core tier delivers the classic sangiovese profile — cherry, rose, violet, tea leaf — with the structural stamp of Tuscany and a medium-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
