The contrast between Tazzelenghe and the prevailing trend of the late 20th century, characterized by rich, high-alcohol wines with a chocolatey softness, couldn’t be starker. Instead, Tazzelenghe embodies a profile defined by its vibrant acidity, robust tannins, and a light to medium-bodied structure. When cultivated with care and crafted with finesse, Tazzelenghe reveals its true character—a wine of exceptional elegance and enduring ageability.
Its captivating deep purple hue sets the stage for an olfactory journey, where intense aromas of violets mingle with the freshness of ripe blackberries. On the palate, this allure continues, with layers of blackberry and black currant flavors unfolding gracefully. Delicate nuances of roses, hints of underbrush, and whispers of tar add depth and complexity, rendering Tazzelenghe a truly distinctive and captivating red wine experience.
