Tignanello 2023

Jeb Dunnuck
The 2023 Tignanello pours a saturated, youthful red/purple hue and is deeply layered and expressive, with pure aromas of black cherry liqueur, fresh blackberry, lavender, forest herbs, polished cedar, and fresh earth. Full-bodied, it floats across the palate with supple, approachable fruit that beautifully balances the structure. A refreshing spine of acidity, refined, even tannins, and a long, seamless finish give the wine both precision and length. Composed of 80% Sangiovese, with the balance Cabernet Sauvignon and increasing amounts of Cabernet Franc (which adds lift and verticality), this is a vintage with the backbone to age for decades while already offering immediate appeal. It’s long, luxurious, and beautifully balanced. Drink 2027-2057.

Vinous
The 2023 Tignanello is a classy, polished wine. Soft and open-knit with lovely, forward fruit and bright acids, the 2023 is a total delight. Floral, spice and blood orange overtones meld into a core of red Sangiovese-driven fruit. There's a touch more Cabernet Franc in this year's blend. That comes through in the wine's aromatic presence. The 2023 is a juicy, midweight Tignanello that offers tons of immediacy and sheer appeal. It's finesse over power.

Familieejede Marchesi Antinori har produceret vin i hele 26 generationer siden 1385 og er et af de mest berømte italienske vinhuse. Antinori er særlig berømt for deres ikoniske toskanske vine og for deres store rolle i 1970'ernes supertoscaner-revolution med Tignanello - Antinori's mest berømte vin, som betragtes som en af Italiens ikonvine. Men Antinori har også revolutioneret Chianti og er den primære årsag til at området i dag mest er kendt for kvalitet i stedet for halvanden liters bastflasker. Familien står stadig i dag for det bedste Italien har at byde på.
