Tasting Notes: The 2021 vintage of Tignanello will be remembered for a long slow-paced season: a vintage that promises power and finesse. This legendary Super Tuscan is loaded with spice elements; blood orange, mint and mocha all vie for attention. Complex and sensual, it is both deeply satisfying and incredibly refreshing. 2021 is turning out to be one of the greatest vintages in memory for Tuscany, and much of Italy, and it really shows here.
Estate History: Tignanello is a wine that needs no introduction to most wine lovers. Created by the Antinori family in the 1970’s - 1971 was the inaugural release - this was the first time Sangiovese was aged in the small ‘barrique’ barrels. This was a revolution in a bottle, as this area of Tuscan was steeped in tradition and the idea of wood aging and blending with international grapes caused an uproar at the time.
