Winemaker Notes

The 2021 Antinori Marchese Chianti Classico Riserva is a vibrant and elegant wine with an intense ruby red color. On the nose, it reveals layered aromas of black cherries, red fruit, and floral hints, complemented by sweet impressions of powdered sugar, cinnamon, and dill, adding a pleasantly spicy nuance. The palate is taut and mouthfilling, with supple tannins and a lengthy, savory finish. Additional tasting notes highlight flavors of black plums, ripe red cherries, spices, and tobacco, supported by a salty mineral edge and a touch of earthy dried herbs, making it a standout wine from a vintage considered one of the best in Chianti Classico history.

About Winery

The Tenuta Tignanello estate is in the heart of Chianti Classico, in the gently rolling hillsides between the Greve and Pesa river valleys. It extends over an area of 319 hectares (788 acres), of which about 130 (321 acres) are dedicated to vines. Two of the estate’s prized vineyards are on the same hillside, Tignanello and Solaia, on soils that originated from marine marlstone from the Pliocene period rich in limestone and schist. The vines enjoy hot temperatures during the day and cooler evenings throughout the growing season. The estate’s two signature wines, Solaia and Tignanello, are produced from these vineyards and have been defined by the international press as “among the most influential wines in the history of Italian viticulture”. According to Marchesi Antinori, Solaia and Tignanello are an ongoing challenge and a never-ending passion. The Tignanello estate has vineyards of indigenous Sangiovese grapes as well as some other untraditional varieties such as Cabernet Franc.
