Avignonesi Grifi 1990 - 0,75l

Avignonesi Grifi 1990 is a distinguished Tuscan red that combines Sangiovese’s natural elegance with the structure and depth of Cabernet Sauvignon. Originally created as a benchmark-style blend, it reflects the bold spirit and refinement that helped put modern Tuscan winemaking on the map.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red color with mature garnet reflections, hinting at its age and development. The bouquet is layered and expressive, opening with ripe dark fruit before unfolding into notes of spice, tobacco, leather, and subtle earthiness. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and composed, with silky tannins, well-integrated acidity, and a long, graceful finish. The 1990 vintage has likely entered a beautifully evolved drinking window, offering immediate complexity now, though its structure may still allow for further short-term cellaring.

Production
Produced in Tuscany from a careful selection of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, Grifi comes from a style of winemaking that emphasizes balance between regional identity and international finesse. The blend is crafted to capture ripe fruit, freshness, and depth, with vinification designed to preserve aromatic complexity and create a polished, age-worthy wine.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roasted or grilled red meat, game dishes, and richly flavored braises. It also pairs beautifully with mature cheeses. Serve at around 16-18°C, and decanting is recommended to help the wine open up and reveal its full aromatic range.
