Produced in Italy, Tignanello is estate-grown at Tenuta Tignanello in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. The estate is owned by the Antinori family, who have been dedicated to winemaking since 1385 and were pioneers of the 'Super Tuscan' movement. This flagship wine was the first Sangiovese-based red to be aged in small oak barrels and to incorporate non-traditional international varieties, reflecting a philosophy that balances centuries of tradition with modern innovation.

Wine Description

This vintage presents an intense ruby red colour with purple highlights. The nose is captivated by aromas of red fruit, blackcurrant, and roses, intertwined with hints of leather, sweet spice, and underbrush. On the palate, the wine is ample and enveloping, featuring a vibrant acidity and supple, fine-grained tannins that respect the character of the Sangiovese grape. The body is medium yet structured, showing a savoury elegance and a finish of remarkable length and persistence.
