Tignanello is one of the most iconic wines produced by Marchesi Antinori, a family with over 600 years of winemaking heritage. The estate is located in the heart of Chianti Classico, between the Greve and Pesa river valleys, where the Antinori family pioneered a revolutionary approach to winemaking in Italy. First released in 1971, Tignanello was among the first Italian wines to incorporate Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc in a Sangiovese-based blend, breaking traditional winemaking norms. It was also the first modern red wine in Chianti Classico to be aged in small French oak barrels, setting a benchmark for the Super Tuscan movement. Vintage Quality: The 2022 vintage in Tuscany, Italy, was characterized by a very hot and dry growing season, with record-breaking temperatures and low rainfall, but was largely considered a very good, and in some places, even great Accolades: Vinous - 95 points Wine Spectator - 94 points James Suckling - 96 points There’s extraordinary energy in this wine. It displays a dark nose of black cherries, bramble fruit, violets, forest, licorice, bark, carob and leather. Density and tension dominate the full-bodied palate, with firm, velvety tannins. It’s slightly austere in the finish at the moment, yet it’s crunchy and full of potential. 96 Points James Suckling
