The 2023 Antinori Tignanello Toscana IGT is an iconic Super Tuscan produced predominantly from Sangiovese, supported by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. It offers an expressive bouquet of ripe cherry, pomegranate and blood orange, layered with cranberry, violet, hibiscus, cocoa, graphite, white pepper and sweet spice.
On the palate, it is precise, juicy and beautifully polished, with vibrant red fruit, bright acidity and silky, finely integrated tannins. The 2023 favours finesse and aromatic purity over sheer power, while its savoury structure and subtle oak provide impressive depth. Blood orange and roasted hazelnut notes linger through the long, refined finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, Tignanello is a benchmark Tuscan wine for collectors and anyone seeking the elegance of Sangiovese with the depth of Bordeaux varieties. Decant for two hours if enjoying young, although cellaring until 2030–2050 will reveal greater complexity. Ideal with bistecca alla Fiorentina, roast lamb, wild-boar ragù, osso buco, porcini mushrooms or aged Pecorino.
