Description
What kind of wine is it
Pannon 7Frankos by Tuzko Birtok is a still red wine made from Blaufränkisch grapes. It appears a ruby red colour with violet highlights. On the nose, it offers a clear aromatic profile, with notes of cherry and red fruits, enriched by hints of leather, honey, and nuances of chilli pepper. On the palate, it is vibrant and structured, supported by refined and pronounced tannins that balance a marked freshness. The sip finishes with a persistent finish, ideal for pairing with dishes such as roast suckling pig, goose liver, or duck à l'orange.
Where does it come from
This red wine originates in Hungary, in the Pannon region, specifically in the Szekszárd and Tolna areas, reflecting the character of the Tolnai zone. Tuzko Birtok is one of the oldest wineries in the country, founded in 1799. The name of the estate means flint, a tribute to the presence of flint in the soils that defines the local character. This specific territorial matrix shapes a dry and taut style, focused on fruit and a measured spiciness typical of the grape variety.
How is it produced
The processing of Blaufränkisch grapes concludes with ageing in oak barrels, which is fundamental in defining the wine's structure. This maturation outlines the wine's dry profile, enhancing an intense acidity that ensures excellent longevity, with an evolutionary potential estimated between five and ten years. To fully appreciate its complex bouquet, it is recommended to decant for one hour before serving, at an ideal temperature between 16 and 18 degrees Celsius.

The Antinori family was deeply inspired by the quality of the wines produced, the presence of existing vineyards on the land, the historical, impressive cellars excavated in tuff rock and the beauty of the landscape so, in 2000, they decided to take over management of the winery together with the Mazzei family.
