Tenuta Tignanello is one of the most renowned estates belonging to the Antinori family. Situated in the heart of the Chianti Classico appellation, between the valleys of the Greve and Pesa rivers, it now extends over 160 hectares of vineyards and is home to the prestigious Vigneto Tignanello and Vigneto Solaia.
Planted on soils rich in schist, limestone and Pliocene marl, the vines benefit from marked temperature amplitudes between day and night, ideal for growing grape varieties such as Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
Since the 1970s, Tenuta Tignanello has been the cradle of major innovations, such as the use of barrels to age Sangiovese and new viticultural practices (vine pruning, planting density). These improvements have led to the creation of emblematic wines, renowned for their quality and elegance.
Tignanello and Solaia, their two emblematic wines from Domaine, are considered pioneers in the world of "Tuscan Supers". The unique terroir gives them power, as well as unrivalled recognizability.
Tasting notes:
This great Tuscan red wine is made mainly from Sangiovese, with a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. With its brilliant garnet-red color, its first nose is intensely fruity. Redcurrant, raspberry and strawberry blend perfectly with floral notes of violet and lilac. Aeration enriches the exquisite blend with notes of chocolate and spices. On the palate, the soft, caressing attack is followed by a vibrant body with velvety tannins. The fine aromatic palette offers notes of white pepper, flowers and redcurrants, with a long, lingering finish.
