Tenuta Tignanello Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon

I'm so impressed by this wine. So surprised how delicious it is.

This was the challenging 2012 vintage. Subdued nose. Earthy with acidity. 90% Sangiovese 10% Cab Sauvignon. A typical example of modern Chianti Classico.

Felt the quality, but too young.

Great Chianti!

One of the best Chiantis ever! Very good with pasta and meatballs.

smoth and solid. bit modern-style.

Balanced, smooth and elegant. A great Chianti Classico, perfectly paired with pork ribs. Had the 2012 vintage.

Cherries, dried cranberries, plums prunes, spice and leather. Some subtle mint from the cab sav. Might be even more delicious in a couple years.

2012
