Description

The Antinori family have been making wine for over six centuries involving a mind-blowing 26 generations! Tignanello estate was purchased by the Antinoris back in 1850, but it was in the 20th Century that the wine as we know it was first produced. Tignanello is an iconic Italian wine that broke the traditional Italian wine mould with innovative winemaking methods such as being the first to use non-native grape varieties (eg Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc) in its blend. From a prized site in the heart of the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany, this is a masterful blend of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc.  A stunning palate with silky tannins and rich mouthfeel; this wine is sheer class in a glass! From Tuscany, we also recommend Il Bruciato (their wine from Bolgheri), plus the Antinori family also have vineyards in Piedmont, Umbria (see the emblematic white Cervaro that we also carry in half bottles), Puglia (see our Calafuria Rose) and Lombardy, as well as further afield. Albiera Antinori is the President of Antinori with her two sisters both working in the business, as well as her father Marchese Piero Antinori. Renzo Cotarella is the head winemaker and CEO.
