Monte Bernardi Tzingana – Toscana IGT – Red – 2000:

 

MONTE BERNARDI TZINGANA: A Biodynamic Super Tuscan with Bordeaux Pedigree

Sourced from the heart of Panzano in Chianti, the Tzingana is Monte Bernardi’s flagship Super Tuscan. This wine is a deliberate marriage of international grape structure (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot) with the powerful, mineral-driven expression of its organic and biodynamic Tuscan vineyard. It’s a wine of profound depth and aging potential.

Sommelier’s Tasting Notes

The Tzingana offers a powerful yet elegant experience:

• Appearance: A radiant, intense ruby with a dark core and violet shimmer.
• Aroma: Very intense nose of ripe dark berries (damson, cassis), evolving into tertiary notes of liquorice, fine leather, and exotic spices like cardamom.
• Flavour: The palate is concentrated, juicy, and full-bodied. Firm, fine-meshed tannins provide backbone, while a vibrant acidity keeps the wine fresh and dynamic. It finishes with a hearty, persistent echo of fruit and tobacco.

Food Pairing & Serving Advice

Given its structure and complexity, Tzingana is best enjoyed with rich, slow-cooked meats or premium cuts. Decanting is highly recommended.

• Food Matches: Slow-Cooked Venison Stew, Roasted Rack of Lamb, or a traditional Roast Beef with all the trimmings.
