Description
Celebrate the artistry of Tuscany with two iconic wines presented in a polished silver gift box. From the elegance of Marchesi Antinori’s Tignanello to the velvety depth of Frescobaldi Castelgiocondo Brunello di Montalcino, this set embodies sophistication in every pour.
The Tignanello is ruby red with intense purple hues. The nose is complex: notes of ripe plums, blackberries and candied orange peels lead to pleasant hints of dark chocolate, caramel, and licorice. Sweet hints of tobacco complete the impressive bouquet. The palate is rich, sophisticated, intense and is defined by supple vibrant tannins followed by a long persistent finish.
right, deep ruby red color. The bouquet is intense and varied, with hints of elegant floral notes of sweet violet and dog rose and notes of wild berries. Clear spicy hints emerge later, reminiscent of star anise and black and white pepper. The tertiary aromas that pervade the nose are wonderful, evoking tea leaves, tobacco leaves, and coffee beans. The finish is slightly balsamic with hints of licorice. Fresh, round, and tannic on the palate, with tannins that are never aggressive but well-matured and caressing.
Due to the popularity of this gift, wines or vintages sometimes sell out. Should this happen, we will always substitute with wines of equal or greater value.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Marchesi Antinori Tignanello 2022: Rich and fruit-forward, the Marchesi Antinori 2022 Tignanello very much respects the vintage that tends to deliver more concentration and volume overall. It delivers extra fruit weight with a velvety, satiny feel over a generous mouthfeel. Tignanello offers blackcurrant and cherry, but there is a mineral note that keeps things focused. This is a beautiful expression of the vintage, with excellent work done to execute soft tannins, texture and length.

Marchesi Antinori Tignanello 2022: There’s extraordinary energy in this wine. It displays a dark nose of black cherries, bramble fruit, violets, forest, licorice, bark, carob and leather. Density and tension dominate the full-bodied palate, with firm, velvety tannins. It’s slightly austere in the finish at the moment, yet it’s crunchy and full of potential.

Frescobaldi Castelgiocondo Brunello di Montalcino 2021 Very attractive aromas of red cherries, mushrooms and flowers follow through to a medium body with firm and integrated tannins and a vivid, subtle, fruity finish. A lovely young Brunello that you can enjoy now or age for many years to come. Drink or hold.

Frescobaldi Castelgiocondo Brunello di Montalcino 2021 The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Castelgiocondo bursts from the glass with a vivid blend of crushed raspberries and cherries, a whiff of allspice and candied rose. It is elegant in feel, silken and smooth with tantalizing acidity and a dominating core of ripe red fruits that adds impact. The finish is grippy and long, potent with fine-grained tannins and a slight citrus tinge that pinches at the cheeks. This classy Brunello is built for the cellar.
