WINE ADVOCATE 97 POINTS - "Rich and fruit-forward, the Marchesi Antinori 2022 Tignanello very much respects the vintage that tends to deliver more concentration and volume overall. It delivers extra fruit weight with a velvety, satiny feel over a generous mouthfeel. Tignanello offers blackcurrant and cherry, but there is a mineral note that keeps things focused. This is a beautiful expression of the vintage, with excellent work done to execute soft tannins, texture and length."
Tignanello, coming from a single vineyard in the heart of Chianti Classico, is now a historic wine for the Marchesi Antinori estate. It was novel in the early 1970s to modify the region's classic wines by aging the native Sangiovese in new French oak and including a healthy contribution from the French Cabernet varieties (Sauvignon and Franc). This is a wine that will please almost every palate.
Antinori’s Tignanello, a wine that defined an era and a region, continues to be innovative and remain relevant and exciting. It was a game-changer for Tuscany in the 1970s and a catalyst for the renaissance of Italian wines in general, and since then Tignanello hasn’t missed a beat. Marchesi Antinori CEO Renzo Cotarella interprets each vintage to gain greater understanding of the Tignanello vineyard.
