Nice wine (1617 views) | | | Tasted by swami62 on 7/2/2023: Spectacular from the first sip. Full bodied, smooth yet intense. First of six to be drunk and will try to hold off for a bit more for the rest, but drinking beautifully now. (1886 views) | | | Tasted by Rudolph Schmidt on 5/28/2023: Decanted an hour.
Cigar humidor, black cherry, clove, slightly floral, dried mushroom, plum.
Paired well with fresh Pappardelle & a simple meat sauce. (1828 views) | | | Tasted by Bandreas on 4/25/2023: Tasted it at Cantinella Antinori; well developed and balanced, good length; and carries the 15% alcohol quite well. No heat on the palate.
Nicely complex nose.
Quite a Pleasant experience. A modern rendition of Chianti, liked it quite well. (1903 views) | | | Tasted by jlhkiss on 10/27/2022 & rated 92 points: This bottle was a gift from a co-worker. Did not need to decant as it was open within a half hour in the bottle. Pronounced high-toned cherry notes mixed with deep black fruit on the palate, with some coffee, tobacco, and dried leather into the finish. Full, rich, almost creamy body with strong acidity and refined tannins. Heavy wood but its integrated well. Very polished for its youth. Drink 2022-2028. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 92. (3258 views) | | | Tasted by Miccog on 10/7/2022 & rated 93 points: A superb Chianti Classico from the historic cellar under the monastery of Badia in Passignano. This is a very well balanced wine with violets, blackberries and blueberries accompanied by jammy dark cherries, vanilla, spicy oak and dark roasted coffee. Smooth and elegant with a long finish that comes with both fresh herbs and dried fruit. Incredibly well-made wine, this! (1954 views) | | | Tasted by Fanny67 on 9/1/2022 & rated 90 points: Smooth (1794 views) | | | Tasted by pilatus88 on 4/7/2022 & rated 89 points: This is a nice Chianti with some smoothness and power. Nice one but felt a bit young. (2859 views) | | | Tasted by Diane (LI) on 4/2/2022: Sumptuous, delicious, not the style of wine I usually drink, but this is well balanced and drinking so well for such a young wine. Excellent choice for my lasagne, but the only downside is the 15% alcohol. (2203 views) | | | Tasted by Martijnrgk on 8/3/2021 & rated 91 points: Antinori proeverij (610 views) |

Producer Location - Tenuta Tignanello (Google Maps)
The Antinori family has produced wine since 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine Winemakers Guild. Throughout its long history (across 26 generations) the family has always managed winemaking in person. Today, the company is managed by Marquis Piero Antinori. The company has dedicated great efforts to improving the quality of its wines, through careful planning of investments and research programs embracing all production aspects. The success of these programs has enabled the company to produce a superb range of quality wines from its various estates in Tuscany and Umbria. The Tignanello Estate is home to the famous Tignanello and Solaia vineyards. Located between the Greve and Pesa Valleys, in the heart of the Chianti Classic area, 30 kilometers south of Florence, Tignanello boasts 350 hectares of land with 147 hectares of vines. The vineyards are divided into small, individual areas over an area of 47 hectares at Tignanello, facing South-West, and the neighboring 10 hectares at Solaia, both with Cabernet and Sangiovese grapes that benefit from specific exposure and micro-climate.Sangiovese BlendSangiovese blend is used in CellarTracker for Italian wines to represent wines predominantly made of Sangiovese and blended with traditional Italian grapes. It is different than SuperTuscan which is a blend of Sangiovese with non-traditional (eg Bordeaux) varieties, often in closer to equal portions. For example, Chianti is at least 80% Sangiovese and will always be listed Sangiovese blend.Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorTuscany Tuscany (ItalianMade.com) | TuscanytChianti Consorzio Vino Chianti | Chianti (wikipedia) |
