Vinification

Single vineyard (Tignanello) grapes were fermented in truncated conical tanks, then transferred to small French and Hungarian oak barrels where the wine was aged for 14-16 months before bottling and further aging for an additional 12 months

Occasional wine note

The Antinori family has been making fantastic wines for centuries and this is definitely one of their two major standouts (the other being Solaia). It blends some of their best Sangiovese grapes with smaller proportions of Cab and Cab Franc. It really doesn't matter what vintage it is. This Super Tuscan is consistently a beast of a wine that never ceases to amaze.

What experts say about this wine

Wine Advocate

The Marchesi Antinori 2019 Tignanello was born in a classic growing season that saw some cooling summer rains and relatively stress-free conditions. This is an elegant and extremely polished wine made with mostly Sangiovese and smaller parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Here too, the small blending element of Cabernet Franc has been slowly increasing in recent years. The 2019 vintage was born with a good amount of power and tannic structure, and maceration times were slightly reduced as a result. This less extractive approach shapes a polished and elegant wine with plenty of bright berry fruit, cherry, dried mint, blue flower, blood orange and rusty earth. The palate is more compact and streamlined. It shows beautiful grace.

Wine Spectator

#5 of Wine Spectator's Top 100 for 2022. A supple, elegant red highlighted by bright cherry, black currant, violet, tobacco, iron and oak spice aromas and flavors. Though fluid and seemingly approachable now, this is well-structured and shows the balance to age. Fine length. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2025.
