Tenuta Tignanello is one of Marchesi Antinori’s best-known estates. In addition to the iconic Tignanello and Solaia, the grapes for the Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva are also selected here. The 2018 vintage showcases a balanced Tuscan style in which Sangiovese takes center stage.
In Tuscany, 2018 followed the exceptionally warm and dry harvest of 2017. The growing season took a different course, allowing the Sangiovese to strike a balance between freshness and ripeness. For lovers of Chianti Classico, comparing these two Riserva vintages is therefore particularly enlightening.
Cherries, violets, and delicate Mediterranean herbs give the wine a distinctive Chianti Classico character. Hints of tobacco, cedar, and aging notes can add extra depth. The fresh acidity and refined tannins keep the wine well-balanced. It is precisely this combination that makes a good Riserva appealing for further bottle aging.
Serve this wine at around 16 to 18 degrees with grilled beef, mushroom risotto, or aged Pecorino. A bottle from 2018 may already be nicely developed, but its exact condition depends on how it was stored. Those who enjoy exploring the influence of the vintage can taste this well-balanced 2018 alongside the warmer 2017.
