Tuscany Red IGT 'Tignanello' 2022 (750 ml.) Antinori
Tignanello Antinori is an iconic wine and a symbol of Tuscan innovation. It is crafted from a meticulous blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, grown exclusively on the Tignanello estate in the Chianti Classico region. After fermentation in stainless steel, the wine matures for 14–16 months in barriques, followed by another year of bottle aging. It shows a deep ruby red color and offers aromas of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, leather, and tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied, well-balanced, with silky tannins and a long, elegant finish. Tignanello was the first Sangiovese aged in barrique and one of the original Super Tuscans. Ideal pairing: grilled red meats, game, braised dishes, and aged cheeses.

Antinori
The Antinori family has been dedicated to winemaking for over six hundred years: since 1385, when Giovanni di Piero Antinori became part of the Florentine Guild of Winemakers. Throughout its long history, spanning 26 generations, the family has always directly managed this business with innovative and sometimes bold choices, while always maintaining respect for traditions and the land.
Today the company is led by Albiera Antinori, with the support of her two sisters Allegra and Alessia, who are personally involved in the company’s activities. Marquis Piero Antinori is currently the Honorary President of the company. Tradition, passion, and intuition have been the driving qualities that have led the Antinori Marquises to establish themselves as one of the leading Italian wine producers. Each vintage, every vineyard, every idea that one wishes to implement is a new beginning, a new search for increasingly high-quality margins.
As Marquis Piero likes to say: “ancient roots play an important role in our philosophy, but they have never inhibited our innovative spirit.” Over time, investments in other areas suited for quality wine production, both in Italy and abroad, have been added to the Tuscan and Umbrian estates, which are the family’s historical heritage, allowing for a new path of enhancement of new terroirs with high winemaking potential. The Antinori Marquises express their passion for viticulture by seeking ever finer margins of improvement. For this reason, continuous experiments are conducted in the vineyards and wineries with selections of indigenous and international grape clones, types of cultivation, vineyard altitudes, fermentation methods and temperatures, traditional and modern winemaking techniques, different types of wood, sizes and ages of barrels, and varying the length of bottle aging. "We have demonstrated, over the years, that in Tuscany and Umbria, there was the possibility of producing quality wines, internationally recognized, that could show elegance and finesse while always maintaining their original character.
Our library has many titles, but for us, it is not rich enough. We have a mission that is not yet fully accomplished, which drives us to express the vast potential of our vineyards and to reconcile the new that remains to be discovered with the heritage of Tuscan taste that includes tradition, culture, agriculture, the artistic and literary, which indeed represent the identity of the Antinori Marquises, one of whose greatest strengths lies in being Tuscan, or, if you prefer, our 'Toscanità'." Piero Antinori
The Antinori family has been part of PFV, "Premum Familiae Vini," an informal association of family-owned wineries since its founding. PFV goes beyond geographical boundaries and maintains a common bond: that of vineyard ownership and wine production as a family activity to cultivate and refine, like a great wine, over time.

Color: intense and brilliant ruby red, of remarkable chromatic concentration, with violet reflections typical of youth. The clarity is impeccable, indicative of precise and careful vinification.
Bouquet: broad, complex and layered. It opens with notes of ripe cherry and plum, followed by accents of berries, blackcurrant and raspberry. To these are added nuances of licorice, sweet spices (cinnamon and cloves), leather and blond tobacco, all enriched by elegant balsamic hints and a vanilla base from the refinement in barrique. The integration between fruit and wood is already well calibrated, while still showing evolutionary potential.
Taste: structured, full and enveloping. The attack is juicy, supported by a dense but already smooth tannic texture. The balance between freshness, alcohol and matter is remarkable, with a vibrant acidity that supports the taste progression. The finish is long and persistent, dominated by fruity and spicy returns that confirm the olfactory elegance. The aging potential is significant: although already enjoyable, it will reveal greater depth with a few years in the bottle.

Tignanello Antinori is an iconic wine and a symbol of Tuscan innovation. It is crafted from a meticulous blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, grown exclusively on the Tignanello estate in the Chianti Classico region. After fermentation in stainless steel, the wine matures for 14–16 months in barriques, followed by another year of bottle aging.

Ideal pairing: grilled red meats, game, braised dishes, and aged cheeses.
The estate
Tignanello estate is located in the heart of Chianti Classico, on the soft hills enclosed between the Greve and Pesa valleys and covers 319 hectares of land, with about 130 hectares of vineyards. Among its vineyards, two treasures: the Tignanello vineyard and the Solaia vineyard which extend on the same hill, on land deriving from Pliocene marl with limestone and shale, and enjoy warm days and cool nights during the growing season. Solaia and Tignanello are produced from the vineyards of the same name, two wines capable of giving way to what is called the Renaissance of Italian wine.
The vineyards
Within the approximately 130 hectares of Tenuta Tignanello vineyard, divided into small parcels, there are two pearls: the Tignanello vineyard and the Solaia vineyard. The soil, of Pliocene origin with a skeleton rich in alberese and galestro, at an average height of 350-400 m a.s.l., and at the marked temperature range between day and night, give the grapes unique characteristics. The cultivated varieties include the indigenous Sangiovese and the non-traditional Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc which, in this place, are able to express themselves in an absolutely territorial way. There are also small parcels of Malvasia and Trebbiano for the production of Vinsanto and 37 hectares of olive grove.
