Marchesi Antinori is one of Italy’s great wine dynasties, with more than six centuries of history and a pivotal role in redefining Tuscan fine wine. At Tenuta Tignanello in the heart of Chianti Classico, the family broke with tradition to create Tignanello, a benchmark Super Tuscan that marries innovation with a deep respect for place.
The 2010 Tignanello in magnum is a superbly balanced and classically proportioned wine, opening with aromas of ripe black cherry, cassis and plum, lifted by notes of violet, graphite, cedar and sweet tobacco. On the palate it is structured yet elegant, with finely woven tannins, bright acidity and a long, harmonious finish of dark fruit, spice and savoury mineral tones; the magnum format further enhances its sense of freshness and longevity.
