Antinori. Tenuta Tignanello Chianti Classico Riserva

The Tenuta Tignanello estate is located between the Greve and Pesa river valleys in the heart of the Chianti Classico appellation. Solaia and Tignanello, the iconic wines of the estate, have been defined by the international press as among the most influential wines in the viticultural history of Italy. In these vineyards, the Antinori family, more than anywhere else, has expressed its principles and working philosophy: to reconcile tradition and modernity with wines which are strictly and authentically tied to their territories of origin.

Since the 2011 vintage, the historical label Marchese Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva is made only with fruit sourced from the Tignanello estate, making it the perfect introduction to the flagship wine.  It could be said that this is the forerunner to the original Tignanello, created by Giacomo Tachis and Piero Antinori in 1970 and then called Podere Tignanello Chianti Classico Riserva.  It only became Tignanello, Vino da Tavola in 1971 when it broke regulations and was made as a pure Sangiovese.
