THE domaine Tenuta Tignanello is located in the heart of Chianti Classico, on the gentle hills between the valleys of the Greve and Pesa rivers. It covers 319 hectares, of which approximately 165 are dedicated to vineyards. Two of the most prestigious vineyards of domaine, Tignanello and Solaia are located on the same hillside, on soils derived from Pliocene marine marls, rich in limestone and schist. The vines benefit from high daytime temperatures and cooler evenings throughout the growing season. The two emblematic wines of the domaine, Solaia and Tignanello come from these vineyards and have been described by the international press as "among the most influential wines in the history of Italian viticulture". For Marchesi Antinori, Solaia and Tignanello represent a constant challenge and an endless passion. domaine de Tignanello owns vineyards of indigenous Sangiovese grape varieties as well as other non-traditional varieties such as Cabernet Franc.

Owner and history

For more than six centuries, and since 1385, the date on which Giovanni di Piero Antinori became a member of the “Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri”, the Guild of Florentine Winegrowers, the family Antinori is dedicated to the art of winemaking. Throughout its history, which spans twenty-six generations, the family Antinori managed the operation directly, making innovative and sometimes bold decisions, with the utmost respect for traditions and the environment.

Vinification and aging

The climatic conditions of this season prompted us to redouble our concentration and rigor, both in the vineyards during the harvest and during the transport of the grapes to the winery, where sorting and the first stages of winemaking were essential to obtain an optimal result.
During fermentation in truncated conical vats, each must macerated on the skins, with particular attention paid to preserving aromas, extracting color, and developing supple and elegant tannins.
Racking was carried out after rigorous daily sampling and tasting. Once separated from the skins, the wine was transferred to small oak barrels where it underwent malolactic fermentation, thus accentuating its aromatic finesse and complexity.

The aging process took place in French oak barrels and, to a small extent, in Hungarian oak barrels, primarily new, for a total period of just over 13 months. After an initial period of aging separately for each batch, they were blended and then completed their aging in barrels.

Tignanello, made primarily from Sangiovese and a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, underwent an additional aging period of 12 months in the bottle before being marketed.

The team's opinion

The year 2022 in Tuscany was marked by a hot and dry summer. However, thanks to the altitude of the Tignanello vineyard (between 350 and 400 meters) and the limestone-rich soils (Alberese), the vines withstood remarkably well. The 2022 Tignanello retains its historic recipe, which made it the first Sangiovese to be aged in barrels and blended with non-traditional grape varieties: Sangiovese (~80%), Cabernet Sauvignon (~15%), Cabernet Franc (~5%).
