Tignanello : 22 results priced between £10.00 and £350.00

A high quality Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon grappa from Antinori, Tiganello is surprisingly easy drinking for a 42% spirit and very well balanced.

Producer: The Antinori family have been producing wine in Tuscany for six centuries, and exporting it for four. The purchase of the Tignanello estate in 1900 marked the beginning of a remarkable period of expansion which shows no signs of abating. Through judicious acquisition of vineyards and an uncanny knack for developing iconic wines, Antinori has become Tuscany's - arguably Italy's - pre-eminent wine producer, with an important presence in Piedmont, Lombardy, Umbria and Puglia as well as their...

"The estate’s 1999 Tignanello is a wine in which the Sangiovese plays a leading role. Classic notes of tobacco, dried cherries, spices, leather and underbrush all emerge from this sweet, layered offering. This richly textured generous Tignanello has put on significant weight in bottle and shows remarkable overall balance. ." eRobertParker.com

"Antinori’s 2007 Tignanello is wonderfully ripe and seductive in its dark cherries, flowers, spices, tobacco, sage, cedar, mint and minerals. This is as opulent a Tignanello as I have ever tasted but there is just enough acidity and structure from the Sangiovese to keep things from going over the top. The dense, muscular fruit follows through to an impeccable finish with no hard edges and impossibly fine, silky tannins. Simply put, the 2007 is a magnificent Tignanello. The 2007 Tignanello is 80%...

Tignanello was first produced in 1971 and was one of the first wines to break out of the strict Chianti Classico classification. In many ways it has been a front runner for the enormous quality improvement seen in Tuscany since then and pioneered the use of small oak barrels and introduction of international grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Today it is made from a blend of 85% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet France and interestingly enough, it would now be...

Deep ruby colour with scents that recall plums, cassis, vanilla, and, vaguely, tobacco. A robust structure yet accessible with smooth texture and rich fruit flours braced by tannins that give the wine gentle complexity. A ripe smoky nose of plum and cassis. Rich, full bodied and complex with exceptional structure and balance. With increased age, Tignanello takes on a garnet cast as flavours lengthen and dimensions broaden. A wine that has re-written Italian wine-making, it was the first Sangiovese...

Description and Reviews: Pale brick colour. Dried plum aromas are complimented by subtle notes of leather, moss and a whiff of truffles. In spite of its age this wine still has some flesh on its structure with a good amount of earthy dried fruits supported with a low level of velvety tannins and medium to high acidity. Long, layered finish. Drinking now

Description and Reviews: Tignanello is the wine for which Antinori is known above all others. It was developed in the 1970s in an attempt to redeem the abysmal reputation for Chianti at that time. The first Tignanello, the 1971 vintage, was a pure Sangiovese.

Description and Reviews: ** 94 Points In Asia ** Reviews " Pale garnet-brick. Intense gamey / savoury aromas with an undercurrent of dark cherry jam, fresh cracked black pepper and a pleasant hint of mushroom. The palate reveals lots of life left in this wine giving a crisp backbone of acid and a medium+ level of finely grained tannins. Good concentration of dried fruit flavours, a pleasant savoury meatiness and some spice. Very long finish. Drink now – 2012+. Tasted November 2008." L Perotti...

Description and Reviews: The 1994 Tignanello reveals gorgeous notes of cedar, tobacco and sweet herbs that waft from the glass, along with slight notes of oxidation that are also present. This is a medium-bodied Tignanello and at this point the wine’s structural components appear to be dominating over the fading fruit in the wine’s balance. Despite its slender personality, this is a delicate, elegant wine, but it is best enjoyed sooner rather than later

Description and Reviews: ** 91 Points - Antonio Galliano ** ** 93 points - Wine Journal ** " The 1997 Tignanello is at a fascinating adolescent stage, it is neither primary nor fully resolved but somewhere in the middle. The wine’s candied, super-ripe fruit is made more complex by subtle notes of smoke and sweet licorice. The aromas appear to be somewhat muted, a characteristic that is perhaps highlighted by the presence of slight barnyardy notes that suggest brett may have been an issue in this...

Press "The 2008 Tignanello is unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage. It isn't a huge or obvious Tignanello, rather a wine that impresses for its sublime elegance and precision. Understated layers of fruit caress the palate like cashmere in this impeccable, soft wine. Black cherries, tobacco, smoke and licorice. The flavour profile is decidedly on the dark side, but the wine's structure is medium in body and intensity. It is a fabulous achievement!" - 94 points, The Wine Advocate, August...

Vineyard Tenuta Tignanello is situated between the Greve and Pesa valleys in the heart of Chianti Classico. Of the 147 hectares of vineyards, forty-seven hectares of ideal marl and limestone soil are used for Tignanello itself. White stones have recently been laid under the rows, reflecting light back to the vines and improving the maturation of the grapes. Winery For all three varieties, fermentation took place at 27-31°C. After devatting, the lots were transferred to new oak barrels for malolactic...

“Very full ruby-garnet, dark and deep. Ample in aroma, with sweet cassis fruit, light accents of sage and rosemary, chocolate and roasted coffee from the oak, and some alcoholic warmth. Dense, round and velvety on the palate, with expanding flavors. Finishes with important tannic strength and impressive weight and force. The fusion of the sangiovese and cabernet components of this wine is more accomplished than in past vintages.” Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (July/Aug 00)
