Great balance and complex texture
Great satisfied (32 views) | | | Tasted by df1962 on 4/26/2024 & rated 92 points: PnD let air for 2hrs.
Consistent with previous note. Complex structured. Loves air. Will be long lived. (126 views) | | | Tasted by rwez on 3/29/2024 & rated 92 points: Fantastic. It's very young, but this wine you can pop and pour right away. Lots of fruits, lots of tannin, long finish. If this is youth, what will be the endresult ? certainly amazing. Drink now or hold. (473 views) | | | Tasted by sboyle on 3/21/2024 & rated 89 points: Notes of cherries and vanilla. Acidity is high with a sharp character. Tannins are medium-plus and are building with each sip. Body is medium. Definitely a good food wine. (496 views) | | | Tasted by xyc on 3/12/2024 & rated 88 points: Garnet colored, unfragrant. Light, winy acidic impression, lacking depth. Could be termed elegant, I say no hint of Chianti. Generic table wine, will not offend, not likely to please Chianti drinkers.
Seeking absolution in advance from all who may be incensed, this may be the perfect red wine for Italian seafood and pasta dishes red or white sauce, the elegance may prove itself. Per favore, Chianti fans, do not place me on a hit list. (508 views) | | | Tasted by Androurse on 2/19/2024 & rated 89 points: The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, black currant (cassis) and fig. It tastes like blackberry, black currant (cassis), cranberry and cinnamon. The body is full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has high acidity. (884 views) | | | Tasted by df1962 on 1/11/2024 & rated 92 points: PnD. Let air for 1hr.
Consistent with previous notes. Powerful and life tons of life ahead. (1131 views) | | | Tasted by Teaky on 1/1/2024: Quite brambly on the nose, red fruit dominant, flavors are the same, almost zin like, had a thicker punch like mouthfeel, low tannins, moderate acidity, moderate length finish, pretty nice (841 views) | | | Tasted by df1962 on 12/15/2023 & rated 92 points: PnD let air for 1hr.
Great structure balance and complexity. Typical Classico on the new world influence spectrum. Needs tons of air and has tons of life. Fantastic. (1135 views) | | | Tasted by Double-A on 11/29/2023 & rated 90 points: Subtle nose with a focused complexity. Dark currant, toasted bread, cocoa, and mineral flavours; firm and assertive with good dimension and length.
4/5 (1119 views) | | | Tasted by ipp on 11/15/2023 & rated 88 points: first impression ... food friendly, not a stand alone glass of chianti (1259 views) | | | Tasted by JohnLI on 10/12/2023 & rated 91 points: Drank at Wine Club. Nose of cherries plum and blood orange. Lengthy palate with good tannins. Should keep. Very enjoyable silky smooth wine (1206 views) | | | Tasted by vlzat on 8/19/2023 & rated 89 points: Mostly Sangiovese blended with Merlot
Medium body, bright ruby color. Highly aromatic, red and blue fruits, spices’ box and leathery background. Cherry, plum, liquorice on palate and hot finish of good length. Rich but silky, rather impressive than complex but well balanced, juicy acidity and grippy tannins. Food friendly, well pairing to grilled poultry. Serve 16ºC - 18ºC. Too young, open three hours ahead or better drink in couple years. (1410 views) | | | Tasted by Jcordon on 7/1/2023 & rated 75 points: Strong bodied and dry with bold flavor. Really great wine for 37 euros (1301 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) |
