The 2018 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 and complexity of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Since its first release in 1971, Tignanello has been considered the benchmark in the Super Tuscan category and ranks among the most influential wines ever produced in Italy.<\/p>\n
The 2018 vintage featured a relatively cool growing season, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. This resulted in a wine with impressive aromatic finesse, lively freshness, and exceptional balance. Thanks to the Magnum format, the wine also matures even more slowly, leading to added complexity and elegance. This makes this bottle particularly appealing to wine enthusiasts, collectors, and investors.<\/p>\n
The nose opens with refined aromas of black cherries, cassis, plums, violets, graphite, tobacco, cedar, cocoa, and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, the wine 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
A 1.5-liter Magnum provides ideal conditions for slow and steady aging. As a result, the wine retains its freshness longer and develops greater complexity. Magnum bottles are also among the most sought-after sizes among collectors and are ideal for special occasions.<\/p>\n
Serve at 17\u201318\u00b0C and decant the wine one to two hours in advance. Excellent with Florentine bistecca, grilled beef, lamb, game dishes, truffle dishes, and aged hard cheeses.<\/p>\n
The 2018 Tignanello Magnum has exceptional aging potential and will continue to develop for more than twenty-five years.<\/p>\n
