Description
A beautiful SuperTuscan from one of Italy's oldest and most famous wine producers Marchese Antinori. Silky and polished, with exceptional finesse, the 2021 has all the qualities to become a modern benchmark for Tignanello and Italian wine more broadly. Bright dark red fruit, blood orange, spices, cedarwood and sweet pipe tobacco all float from the glass, framed by a discreet touch of French oak that adds spiciness. In some vintages the elements are observable. In 2021, it is the total harmony of the wine that makes the strongest and deepest impression. The 2021 spent 17 months in wood, three months in neutral oak during malolactic fermentation and then 14 months (50% new) for the remainder of the maturation. Fantastic.
Tignanello was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, the first contemporary red wine blended with non-traditional varieties (particularly Cabernet), and one of the first red wines in the Chianti Classico region not to use white grapes. Tignanello is a milestone. It is produced with a selection of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
The label was designed in 1974 by Silvio Coppola for the release of Tignanello 1971. The idea of ​​commissioning this artist was discussed at an event at Castello della Sala in 1973. Silvio Coppola was an important Italian graphic and interior designer known for his minimalist lighting fixtures and sleek furniture, but also for book cover designs for the Italian publisher Feltrinelli. Silvio Coppola was the perfect match for the job.
The signature
Marchese Piero Antinori, the current honorary president, decided to have his father, Niccolò Antinori, sign the label as a sign of recognition for his father's confidence in him.

More information about Antinori
Marquis Piero Antinori is in charge and is assisted by his three daughters: Albiera, Allegra and Alessia. Funny those three A's. We are not going to bother you with all the awards that have been received over the years, because then this price list can no longer go through the letterbox. There are two red wines that are available on allocation and that one would like to get a few bottles from all over the world and that are Tignanello and Solaia and we also have these in our range at Grandcruwijnen.
In 1180, Ugo and Antinori di Rinuccino were officially named as owners of Castello di Combiate; a century later, the family who had moved to Florence were included in the register of the silk trade cooperative. In 1385, Giovanni di Piero, an indirect descendant, entered the wine guild as an apprentice. Since then, the wine-growing tradition of the Antinori family has been continuous. With the establishment of the Marchesi Antinori winery, the peak was reached in 1895 and already in 1898 the winery was built in San Casciano Val di Pesa, which is still the center of the widely branched group of properties in all major cultivation areas of Tuscany, Umbria. , Piemonte (since the early 90s through the purchase of the wine cellar Prunotto), Apulia and even California. The traditional house participating in the modern Tuscan wine-growing revolution owes much of its prestige to its former chief vinologist Giacomo Tachis, who produced exceptional wines such as Sassicaia, Tignanello (especially sangiovese), Solaia (especially cabernet) and many others. the other was responsible. Vinologist Renzo Cotarella also created one of the best chardonnays in Italy in the Umbrian Castello della Sala.
