Everyday wine
Sangiovese mainly and a touch of old vines ciliegiolo both from the Montalcino area
Maximum respect for the environment is a key word for the Padovani sisters
The wine is focus on a beautiful cherry fruit, is smooth and present itself quite suitable for most food: cured meat or pastas and red meat too; i am sure even on legumes soups would be ideal.
Not complex, not too long, but it goes down well

🏅 Rating 93+/100 (4,35⭐)
Tasted from magnum.
Ruby color with tawny hue showing the age. First nose has a slight touch of iron. Fruit is ripe and sweet. Vegetable scent of tomato stems suggesting presence of Cabernet Sauvignon. Sandy tannins of Sangiovese. Amazing how bottle aging makes the wine so smooth and satin.
Mostly tertiary aromas, but very well holding the age and could last for at least 5 more years without any signs of decline
Elegant expression of famous Tignanello.

Nose is wood, leather and hint of stone fruit. Taste is pepper, leather and oak. Not picking up much fruit maybe black cherries. Finish is dry oak. This one has been in the wine fridge for probably 4 years. — 4 years ago
