Tasting Notes

Silky and polished, with bright dark red fruit lifted by blood orange, spice, cedar, and sweet pipe tobacco. It feels exceptionally harmonious, with a discreet oak frame and a long, refined finish.

Food Paring

Pair with bistecca alla fiorentina or herb-crusted lamb to match the wine’s power and finesse. Truffle pasta, wild boar ragù, or aged pecorino also highlight its savory spice and citrus-tinged depth.

Professional Reviews

"First made in 1971, this legendary Italian wine now celebrates its 50th birthday. Happy Birthday, Tignanello! The Marchesi Antinori 2021 Tignanello (made with 79% Sangiovese, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc) pulls on all the heartstrings. To be released in May, the wine shows a quintessentially pretty taste profile with tart fruit flavors, redcurrant, tea leaf, heritage rose, crushed white pepper, licorice, nutmeg, clove and chopped mint. It opens slowly to reveal more richness and exuberance with time, becoming downright voluptuous and heady a short while later. The through line, however, remains the bright freshness and minerality of Sangiovese. Compared to the 2018 vintage (which I also loved), this vintage has more overall fruit weight and volume."
