Marchesi Antinori Tignanello (2022)

Tignanello is one of Italy’s most iconic wines, a groundbreaking Super Tuscan that redefined what Sangiovese could be. Crafted by the historic Marchesi Antinori family, the wine comes from the famed Tignanello hillside in Chianti Classico, where rocky, high‑elevation vineyards deliver power, purity, and finesse. The blend—anchored by Sangiovese with touches of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc—offers layers of dark cherry, spice, tobacco, and silky structure. Long celebrated for its balance of tradition and innovation, Tignanello remains a benchmark for collectors and a thrilling discovery for anyone exploring the best of Tuscany.

Tignanello 2022 is intensely ruby red in color with purple hues. The wine opens impressively with aromas of cherries, ripe black cherries and pomegranate seeds with delicate notes of violets that lead to fresh balsamic hints. The bouquet is completed by elegant hints of vanilla and cotton candy. Supple savory tannins impart a dynamic impact on the palate, dense yet fresh. The wine closes with a lengthy finish that echoes aromas perceived on the nose.

Blend: 80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc
