Tignanello was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, the first contemporary red wine blended with untraditional varieties (specifically Cabernet) and one of the first red wines in the Chianti Classico region that didn't use white grapes. Tignanello is a milestone. It's produced with a selection of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.

Röd med bruna kanter. Det doftar av svarta vinbär.Antinori hade en träig smak.
Ett röd som vi tog med maten.
Vi drack 2017 med några kolleger från jobbet.

Cor-de-cereja, de capa muito alta. O cheiro a morango é predominante.Continuei a sentir o sabor durante um bom bocado.
Deve ser tomado com alimentos.
Quando estou com os amigos pedimos sempre Antinori Tignanello.

4/5

This Antinori goes great with shrimps. I took the Antinori Tignanello with my couple in a romantic plan.
The Sangiovese had a very deep color. White flowers are perceived in this Antinori Tignanello. Astringent, rough taste.

Brillant ruby red colour, high layer. I would highlight the aromas of tobacco.The grape had presence.
We paired it with snacks and we really liked this Tuscany.
It was a gift for my brother and he enjoyed it very much.

Over all, the Antinori Tignanello reminded me of white flowers. It is the softest wine of Tuscany.
It was just slightly past.
