Marchesi Antinori Tignanello Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy 2023 Acacia The 2005 Pavillon Rouge isThe 2023 Tignanello is a classy, polished wine. Soft and open knit with lovely, forward fruit and bright acids, the 2023 is a total delight. Floral, spice and blood orange overtones meld into a core of red Sangiovese driven fruit. There's a touch more Cabernet Franc in this year's blend. That comes through in the wine's aromatic presence. The 2023 is a juicy, midweight Tignanello that offers tons of immediacy and sheer appeal. It's finesse over power.
