Tasting note

A deep, intense ruby in the glass, this 100% Cabernet Franc from a single prized plot within the Bolgheri amphitheatre is a wine of real precision and character. The nose is immediately varietal and expressive, with blackcurrant, dried herbs, grilled pepper and a lifted freshness of mint and myrtle leaf, underpinned by fine notes of mocha and dark chocolate. 2019 was one of the finest recent vintages for Cabernet Franc at the estate, with a cool spring giving way to a warm, dry summer that produced loose, light bunches and exceptional tannin quality, and it shows: the palate is full-bodied yet remarkably velvety, layered with candied dark fruit and pencil shavings, with stony minerality running through the core. Bright acidity keeps everything taut and vital, and the finish is long, pure and persistent. Superb now with a good decant, and built to age comfortably for another decade or more.

Producer

Antinori

The Antinori wine group, a legendary name in Italian winemaking, is celebrated for its exceptional wines and centuries-long heritage. Founded in 1385, the Antinori family has been producing wine for over 26 generations, combining traditional practices with innovative techniques. Their vast portfolio includes iconic wines such as Tignanello and Solaia, produced in the heart of Tuscany, as well as estates across Italy and beyond.

Region

Tuscany

Tuscany, one of Italy's most renowned wine regions, is celebrated for its exceptional and diverse wines. Known for its picturesque landscapes and ideal climate, it benefits from a range of terroirs, from rolling hills to coastal areas. The area is particularly famous for its red wines, notably Chianti, made primarily from Sangiovese grapes, which offer bright acidity, cherry flavours, and earthy undertones. It also produces prestigious wines such as Brunello di Montalcino, a full-bodied red with complex flavours and excellent ageing potential, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. For whites, Vernaccia di San Gimignano is noted for its crisp, refreshing character. Tuscany blends traditional winemaking with innovative techniques, offering a rich and varied wine experience.
