About the Offer

Tignanello is one of the top Super Tuscans. This world-renowned wine was the first Sangiovese to be aged in small oak barrels, the first Italian red wine in modern times to use a non-traditional grape variety (Cabernet) in the blend, and among the first Italian red wines made in Chianti appellation with no use of white grapes. The wine is only produced in exceptional vintages and it is considered one of the blue chips in all of Italy.

The Antinori family has been committed to the art of winemaking for over six centuries since 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori became a member, of the “Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri”, the Florentine Winemakers’ Guild.

Tignanello, is produced exclusively from a 140-acre vineyard site at Antinori’s Tignanello estate which is planted between 1,150 and 1,312 feet above sea level. Tenuta Tignanello estate is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico appellation. As you can imagine, given the fact that Tignanello is one of the world’s greatest wines, this estate is placed on an extremely blessed terroir, on soft hills with soils deriving from Pliocene marine marls with limestone and shale.

The two most iconic labels from the Antinori family are produced from the Tignanello vineyard, Solaia and this amazing Super Tuscan. This vineyard is planted with Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. These two wines are called "among the most influential wines in Italian winemaking history".

Tignanello was revolutionary in its rejection of traditional Chianti regulations, being one of the first to blend Sangiovese with Bordeaux varieties and exclude white grapes entirely, effectively creating a new category of Italian wine that would pave the way for the Super Tuscan movement.

2023 lands as a graceful, midweight Tignanello — less muscle than the 2021, more finesse than the warmer 2020. Sangiovese-led with a touch more Cabernet Franc than usual, sourced from the limestone-rich Tignanello vineyard sitting 1,150 to 1,325 feet up in the heart of Chianti Classico. Aged 13 months in mostly new French oak (with a small percentage of Hungarian), then rested another year in bottle before release.

Substitutions of featured wines may be made at BHW's discretion.

Wines Included

A Sangiovese-led blend with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc (with a touch more Cabernet Franc in 2023 than typical). Intense ruby red in the glass.

The nose opens with ripe cherries, pomegranate, and blood orange, layered with hibiscus, violets, cocoa, pencil lead, and a whisper of white pepper.

The palate is precise and pure, with a juicy, mouth-filling mid-palate framed by silky, supple tannins. The long, savory finish carries notes of blood orange, roasted hazelnut, and graphite.

Critical Reviews

A fantastic vintage of this Tuscan superstar, a super Tuscan so clearly and surely but undemonstratively so, with no excess – just poise, harmony, elegance and, above all, finesse. This is gorgeously beguiling and enticing aromatically, drawing you in to its dark web of berry and stone fruits, graphite, cracked black pepper and subtler floral and herbal notes. I love the little hint of cornflowers, lilac and blueberry. Shimmering in its crystalline purity with the ultra-fine grained, almost glassy, tannins pixilating the mid-palate picking out details as they do so and offering an early glimpse of the staggering complexity and layering of this wine.~ 98 The Drinks Business

The 2023 Tignanello pours a saturated, youthful red/purple hue and is deeply layered and expressive, with pure aromas of black cherry liqueur, fresh blackberry, lavender, forest herbs, polished cedar, and fresh earth. Full-bodied, it floats across the palate with supple, approachable fruit that beautifully balances the structure. A refreshing spine of acidity, refined, even tannins, and a long, seamless finish give the wine both precision and length. Composed of 80% Sangiovese, with the balance Cabernet Sauvignon and increasing amounts of Cabernet Franc (which adds lift and verticality), this is a vintage with the backbone to age for decades while already offering immediate appeal. It’s long, luxurious, and beautifully balanced. Drink 2027-2057. ~ 97 Jeb Dunnuck

The 2023 Tignanello is a classy, polished wine. Soft and open-knit with lovely, forward fruit and bright acids, the 2023 is a total delight. Floral, spice and blood orange overtones meld into a core of red Sangiovese-driven fruit. There's a touch more Cabernet Franc in this year's blend. That comes through in the wine's aromatic presence. The 2023 is a juicy, midweight Tignanello that offers tons of immediacy and sheer appeal. It's finesse over power. ~ 95 VInous Media

Marchesi Antinori

Umbria, Italy

Produced by Marchesi Antinori at their Umbrian estate, Castello della Sala is located in the Umbria region, not far from the Tuscan border, about 18 kilometers from the historic city of Orvieto.

The Medieval castle’s property extends over an area of 600 hectares (1482 acres), 229 hectares (495 acres) are planted with vineyards at an altitude that varies between 220 and 470 meters above sea level (722/1541 feet) on the gently rolling hillsides that characterize the beautiful countryside in this area.

Castello della Sala is the perfect place for growing white varieties. The vines grow in clay and calcareous based soils, rich in fossil shells, and they are well exposed to the rising of the sun with an excellent difference of temperature between day and night.
