Tignanello

2021 "Tignanello" Toscana IGT,  Marchesi Antinori Marchesi Antinori: Tignanello war der erste Sangiovese, der in Barrique verfeinert wurde, der erste moderne Rotwein, der sich aus nicht traditionellen Rebsorten (darunter Cabernet) zusammensetzt, und einer der ersten Rotweine aus dem Chianti, dem keine weißen Rebsorten hinzugesetzt wurden. Tignanello ist ein Meilenstein in der Geschichte des Weins. Der Wein wird aus einer Auswahl von Sangiovese-, Cabernet Sauvignon- und Cabernet Franc-Trauben hergestellt. Antonio Galloni The 2021 Tignanello is every bit as impressive from bottle as it was from barrel and then just after bottling. Silky and polished, with exceptional finesse, the 2021 has all the pedigree to become a modern benchmark for Tignanello and Italian wine more broadly. Bright dark red fruit, blood orange, spice, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco all soar out of the gals, framed by a discreet touch of French oak that adds raciness. In some vintages, the elements are discernible. In 2021, it is the total harmony of the wine that makes the strongest and deepest impression. The 2021 spent 17 months in wood, three months in neutral oak during the malolactic fermentation and then 14 months (50% new) for the rest of its aging. Superb. Robert Parker First made in 1971, this legendary Italian wine now celebrates its 50th birthday. Happy Birthday, Tignanello! The Marchesi Antinori 2021 Tignanello (made with 79% Sangiovese, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc) pulls on all the heartstrings. To be released in May, the wine shows a quintessentially pretty taste profile with tart fruit flavors, redcurrant, tea leaf, heritage rose, crushed white pepper, licorice, nutmeg, clove and chopped mint. It opens slowly to reveal more richness and exuberance with time, becoming downright voluptuous and heady a short while later. The through line, however, remains the bright freshness and minerality of Sangiovese. Compared to the 2018 vintage (which I also loved), this vintage has more overall fruit weight and volume.
