Tignanello is one of the wines that have helped shape the modern history of Tuscany. With this wine, Antinori blended Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, choosing to chart its own course outside the traditional Chianti Classico guidelines. The 2017 harvest was warm and dry, giving the wine a ripe, concentrated character.
2017 was a warm and dry year in Tuscany. For the grapes at Tenuta Tignanello, choosing the right time to harvest was therefore particularly important. This vintage stands in stark contrast to the more moderate 2019. Since the 1970s, Tignanello itself has been an important symbol of innovation in Italian winemaking.
Black cherries, blackcurrants, and plums are complemented by violets, tobacco, and Mediterranean herbs. The Cabernet grapes add structure, while Sangiovese provides a fresh, lively edge. The combination of ripe fruit and tannins gives this wine the potential to continue developing, though a specific drinking window cannot be guaranteed for every bottle.
Serve at around 16 to 18 degrees with grilled beef, lamb, or truffle dishes. Taste the wine first before deciding whether decanting is advisable. Those who have followed Tignanello over the years will discover in the 2019 vintage a different expression of the same vineyard and the same exceptional Tuscan tradition.
