Tignanello is a wine of the Tuscan tradition, precious, refined and of great luxury. It tells the history of the territory and the capacity of innovation of the master cellars of the estate Tignanello Marchesi Antinori. It was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barrique, the first modern red wine blended with non-traditional varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, and one of the first red wines in Chianti not to use white grapes. Tignanello dei Marchesi Antinori is a milestone. It is produced with a selection of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. After aging in barriques for about 12-14 months, the wine rests in the bottle for a further year of aging.

An ideal wine to be combined with dishes of game and game, but also with mature cheeses or like all great wines, it is also wonderful to sip alone. It should be served at 18°-20°C in a wide glass that allows the wine to oxygenate in order to favor the sensorial notes to release and invade the taster’s nose, it is recommended to let the wine breathe 1-2 hours before serving.
