Cu mai bine de sase secole de excelenta in vinificatie, crama Marchesi Antinori – aparuta in 1385 – a devenit un stindard intre producatorii de vin italieni. Cum renumele se pastreaza cu vinuri de calitate, nici Tignanello 2017 nu face nota discordanta, acest cupaj de Sangiovese (85%), Cabernet Sauvignon (10%) si Cabernet Franc fiind o eticheta care se ridica la standardele cu care a obisnuit crama Antinori. Vinul imbraca fiecare pahar intr-o mantie rubinie, demna de un rege, iar parfumul degajat are note de vanilie, condimente si lemn dulce. Cu fiecare inghititura insa, acest vin face din tine un rege, pentru ca simturile iti vor fi slujite de gustul lung de ciocolata si cirese negre. Textura sa eleganta si aciditatea vibranta vor veni ca o oda inchinata maiestuos, iar taninurile suple vor deveni plecaciunea finala a acestui vin demn de cele mai nobile papile gustative.

The Marchesi Antinori 2017 Tignanello (made with Sangiovese and smaller parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc) is a dark, exuberant and inviting wine. I tasted my sample after a double decanting and was pleased by the profound nature of the wine and the immediate openness of the aromas. There is a symphony of dark fruit with black cherry, plum, spice and sweet tobacco. I am particularly attracted by a distant hint of medicinal or menthol herb that I also discovered in other wines with fruit from the Tignanello estate in 2017. There's a drying mineral note of crushed chalk as well. The heat and dryness of the vintage has added to the aromatic intensity of the wine (yields were reduced by a third), but the mouthfeel is carefully crafted to maintain its softness and smoothness. Fruit comes from a 57-hectare section of the Tenuta Tignanello from a vineyard that is located 390 meters above sea level with Alberese limestone rock and soils of marine origin. The wine is fermented in conical oak tanks and is aged up to 16 months in a combination of mostly French and some Hungarian oak, both new and neutral. Some 300,000 bottles were released in April 2020 after one year of bottle age.

A dense, really pinpointed red with plums and hazelnuts. Full-bodied and very polished with fine, creamy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Shows real finesse for the vintage. Better after 2023, but already a joy to taste.
