The 2017 Marchesi Antinori Tignanello IGT Magnum (1.5L) ranks among the very best in the Italian wine world. Hailing from the legendary Tenuta Tignanello estate, this iconic Super Tuscan combines the elegance of Sangiovese with the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Since its first release in 1971, Tignanello has been considered one of the most influential wines ever produced in Italy and serves as the benchmark for the Super Tuscan category.<\/p>\n
Despite the hot and dry conditions of 2017, Marchesi Antinori managed to produce a wine with impressive balance and refinement. The Magnum format allows for slower and more even aging, enabling the wine to develop even greater finesse, freshness, and complexity. This makes this bottle particularly appealing to collectors and enthusiasts of great Tuscan wines.<\/p>\n
The nose opens with aromas of black cherries, cassis, plums, violets, tobacco, graphite, cedar, cocoa, and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is rich and harmonious, with silky-smooth tannins, lively acidity, and an exceptionally long, mineral finish in which fruit, wood, and terroir blend perfectly.<\/p>\n
Serve at 17\u201318\u00b0C and decant the wine one to two hours in advance. Perfect with Florentine bistecca, grilled beef, lamb, game dishes, truffle dishes, and aged hard cheeses.<\/p>\n
