Tignanello was a milestone in Tuscany and is one of the most iconic wines to come out of Italy. It was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, the first contemporary red wine blended with untraditional varieties (specifically Cabernet) and one of the first red wines in the Chianti Classico region that didn’t use white grapes. It’s produced with a selection of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc and considered one of the best of all the Super-Tuscan wines and certainly one of the most sought after.
THE WINE ADVOCATE 95 points
Drink Date: 2015 - 2035
The 2007 Tignanello is ripe with promise for the future. The wine has just started its evolutionary track with aromas of blackcurrant, dried blackberry and cherry. This was a warm but balanced vintage that shows beautiful results today and exceeds my already high expectations. There is a steady thickness and determination to the wine that carries it forward. This was the last vintage made in the Tignanello winery before the structure saw a major overhaul. Given the staying power of this historic wine, I feel that this vintage will hold easily for another 20 years or more. - Monica Larner
