The wine

Description and technical sheet

The Tignanello by Antinori originates from the namesake vineyard located within the historic Tenuta Tignanello in San Casciano in Val di Pesa (FI). Here, the soils are calcareous enriched with tuff elements and are situated at an altitude between 350 and 400 meters above sea level. The blend composition has remained unchanged since 1982: Sangiovese with a small part of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The aging process took place for 14-16 months in French and Hungarian oak barrels, partly new and partly second passage, with an additional 12 months of rest in the bottle. This is a legendary wine that should not be missing from any connoisseur's cellar. The Tignanello, in fact, besides enjoying international fame, holds a series of important records: it was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, as well as the first modern red wine to be blended with non-traditional grape varieties such as Cabernet. Finally, it was among the first red wines of the Chianti Classico not to use white grapes. It is produced only in the best vintages.

TIGNANELLO ANTINORI: TASTING NOTES

The Tignanello by Antinori presents itself with an intense ruby red color. The nose reveals clear aromas of black cherry and small berries, combined with balsamic notes of mint and hints of chocolate and dark spices. On the palate, it is harmonious and supported by a smooth tannic structure that blends with a well-integrated freshness and elegant minerality that persists in the long finish. At the table, Tignanello pairs well with cured meats and aged cheeses as well as tasty recipes based on red meats and game.
