De Antinori Tignanello was de eerste Sangiovese die in barriques werd gerijpt, de eerste hedendaagse rode wijn gemengd met niet-traditionele variëteiten (met name Cabernet) en een van de eerste rode wijnen in de Chianti Classico-regio die geen witte druiven gebruikte. Tignanello is een mijlpaal. Het is geproduceerd met een selectie van Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon en Cabernet Franc. De Antinori Tignanello 2019 is een fantastische expressie van deze wijn in één van de mooiste jaren ooit.
98 Parkerpunten en 96 van James Suckling over oogstjaar 2018:
RP "The Antinori Tignanello 2018 vintage offers a deconstructed Tignanello upon first inspection because you can clearly make out the varietal typicity of the grapes, especially the green spice and white pepper of the two Cabernets, along with aromas of crushed limestone that recall the white rocks carefully placed in the vineyards to protect the rows. The wine's fruit weight is contained and polished, and there are no exaggerations, excesses or loose ends. The results are calculated and exacting, especially if you consider the tannic management (with aging in both new and used Hungarian and French oak for up to 16 months) and the quality of the elegant mouthfeel. With time in the glass, those deconstructed elements converge to create unity and balance. The Tignanello vineyard is 57 hectares and sits at a breezy 390 meters above sea level with alberese and galestro soils. Those elevations proved important for shedding excess humidity at the end of this 2018 growing season."
JS: "This is so aromatic with flowers, such as cherry blossoms and roses, together with currants and blackberries. A medium-bodied Tignanello with very fine tannins and depth. Racy and very, very long finish. Pure and refined. Lots of blue fruit. Tight at the end, but showing a sophisticated and reserved style. Very refined. Drinkable now, but will age nicely."
