ABOUT THE WINE
Produced exclusively from the 57-hectare Tignanello vineyard in the heart of Chianti Classico, this landmark wine has been crafted by the Antinori family since 1970—whose Tuscan roots stretch back to 1385. Today the estate is overseen by Marchese Piero Antinori with his daughters Albiera, Allegra and Alessia.
Tignanello 2019 comes from a classic Tuscan season: a cool, wet spring set a measured pace; a warm, dry summer ripened the fruit evenly; and the long, fine September delivered superb balance and aromatic lift. Sangiovese leads the blend, supported by small portions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from the same vineyard.
TASTING NOTES
Ripe black cherry and plum layered with violet, sweet spice and Mediterranean herbs, evolving to cedar, tobacco and graphite. The palate is silky yet vibrant, with succulent red–black fruit, polished tannins and a saline–mineral line that carries a long, poised finish. Beautifully proportioned and expressive of site. Drink 2025–2040+.
FOOD PAIRING
Bistecca alla fiorentina, herb-roasted lamb, veal chop with porcini, wild-boar ragù, or aged hard cheeses like Pecorino and Parmigiano Reggiano.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
A textbook Tignanello in 2019: depth without heaviness, vivid acidity, and immaculately managed tannins. Decant 45 minutes for immediate pleasure—or cellar confidently for graceful evolution.
