The 2012 Tignanello is an intense ruby red in color with violet highlights. The wine is potent & complex on the nose with spicy notes which mingle with aromas of red fruit, smoke, & balsamic sensations; cherries, plums, liquorice, & rosemary are in addition felt. The flavors are mouth- filling & elegant with much volume & an excellent balance in the texture, & the oak is perfectly fused in the spicy & fruity finish & aftertaste. 80% Sangiovese, 5 % Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.
