Tignanello is one of Italy’s most influential wines, marking a turning point in Tuscan winemaking when Marchesi Antinori first introduced Cabernet Sauvignon into the blend and eliminated white grapes entirely. Sourced from the historic Tignanello vineyard in the heart of Chianti Classico, the wine is grown on galestro and limestone-rich soils and crafted to balance power with finesse. The 2011 vintage, shaped by a warm growing season, produced wines of richness and structure while retaining Antinori’s hallmark polish.
With time in bottle, the 2011 Tignanello has developed remarkable depth and harmony. Dark cherry, plum, and blackcurrant are layered with notes of tobacco, leather, cedar, and dried herbs. The palate is broad and composed, with integrated tannins and balanced acidity giving the wine both presence and grace. The finish is long and resonant, showing the maturity and quiet authority of a great Tuscan red entering its prime.
A landmark Italian wine with proven longevity, offers immediate pleasure and continued potential in the cellar.
Varietal: Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc
Appellation: Toscana, Tuscany, Italy
Farming: Sustainably farmed
Style: Red. Structured, layered, and age-worthy
