Tignanello 2017

Antinori

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 96.0

Regarded as an innovative pioneer of modern Italian top wines, Tignanello is produced by Antinori and is considered one of the Super Tuscans. 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.

Bold black fruit on the nose. Succulent and candied on the palate, thanks in part to plentiful vanilla oak. Firm tannic grip. Smoky finish. Brooding. (RH)

Forward plum and cherry aromas are accompanied by black pepper, clove and the typical floral notes of the Chianti Classico area like orris and violet. Darker on the palate, it displays chocolate notes with a balsamic character - peppermint in depth - and a delicate coconut finish. Full and powerful, it has firm acidity and compact tannins, finding great balance due to its amazing concentration of fruit. Of the 50% new wood used in 2017, a small proportion of oak was sourced from Hungary, helping the wine to open up a little bit according to Antinori CEO, Renzo Cotarella.
