An iconic Tuscan Riserva from Marchesi Antinori, offering elegance, depth, and exceptional finesse
The 2018 Tenuta Tignanello ‘Marchese Antinori’ Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG is one of the finest expressions of the Chianti Classico appellation. Hailing from the famous Tenuta Tignanello estate, owned by Marchesi Antinori, this wine combines more than six centuries of winemaking tradition with modern precision. The estate ranks among the very best in Tuscany and enjoys an excellent reputation worldwide thanks to iconic wines such as Tignanello and Solaia.
The 2018 vintage offered ideal conditions for the slow and steady ripening of the grapes. This resulted in a wine with a beautiful balance between ripe fruit, lively freshness, and refined tannins. This Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG perfectly reflects the unique terroir of Tenuta Tignanello and offers an impressive wine experience both now and after many years of bottle aging.
