Tignanello is the wine that helped define the Super Tuscan category. Marchesi Antinori first made it in 1970 from a single vineyard parcel, and it went on to become the first Sangiovese aged in small oak barrels and one of the first modern Tuscan reds to blend in Cabernet. Since 1975 it has been made without white grapes, and it is bottled only in favourable vintages.
The vineyard covers around 77 hectares on the Tignanello estate in Chianti Classico, facing southwest at 350 to 400 metres on rocky, calcareous soils of alberese limestone and marl. Sangiovese forms the core of the blend, supported by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
The 2023 season brought a cool, rainy spring followed by a hot, dry summer. After fermentation in truncated conical tanks and malolactic fermentation in small barrels, the wine was aged for 13 months in mostly new French oak with a small portion of Hungarian oak, then rested a further 12 months in bottle before release. Expect ripe cherry, pomegranate, orange peel, violet, cocoa and white pepper, with silky tannins and a savoury finish of blood orange and roasted hazelnut.
