Tignanello first appeared in 1970 and helped start the Super Tuscan movement. The Antinori family says it was the first Sangiovese aged in barrique and among the first modern Tuscan reds to include Cabernet. It's made only in good years.

It comes from a single 77-hectare vineyard on limestone-rich soils at 350 to 400 meters. The blend is mainly Sangiovese, about 80%, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Malolactic took place in small oak barrels, then the wine aged 15 months in French and Hungarian oak and a year in bottle.

The winery describes intense ruby red, with cherry, strawberry and blackberry, violet and rose, roasted coffee and cocoa, and a vibrant, layered palate finishing on pepper, licorice and herbs.

Against Opus One, Tignanello is the Sangiovese-led Tuscan icon at well under half the price; for Italian food, choose Tignanello.

Decant it an hour ahead and serve it with bistecca alla fiorentina, wild boar ragù or aged Parmigiano.

Awards

97.0 James Suckling
"Violets and lavender with dark fruit and hints of dark chocolate. Sophisticated nose. Medium-bodied with fine tannin structure that gives this finesse and beauty. It’s very long and goes on for minutes. Precision."

95.0 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"Newly on the market now, the 2020 Tignanello shows a gorgeous bouquet with an upfront and accessible personality. Right off the bat, you get dark cherry, dried raspberry, spice, toasted almond and citrusy blood orange. The blend is normally 75% to 80% Sangiovese with 7% Cabernet Franc. The grape in between, making up 13% to 18%, is Cabernet Sauvignon. This vintage is very pretty and won’t require a long wait. The tannins are sweet and silky. “Tignanello proves itself as a great vineyard site in both the challenging and the classic years,” says Managing Director Renzo Cotarella."

94.0 Wine Spectator
"A concentrated red, with black cherry, blackberry, iron, tobacco and vanilla flavors framed by sweet spices and toast accents. Ends with mouthcoating tannins, yet is pretty well-balanced overall. Alluring and classy."

96.0 Vinous
"so primary, so intensely fruit-driven, that it almost tastes like a barrel sample"
