The 2016 Tignanello is flat out stunning. Dark, dense and resonant, the 2016 is a wonderfully complete wine that will provide readers with decades of pure drinking pleasure. The 2016 is especially dark and brooding, and yet the tannins are incredibly polished to the point of being perceptible. In the glass, the 2016 is complete and regal, perhaps because of the super-classic blend of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. The pedigree of the vintage comes through in the wine's extraordinary balance and total sense of finesse. I don't think there is another wine anywhere in the world made entirely from estate fruit that can match Tignanello for quality, consistency and value within its peer group of top-flight reds.

To hit the market in June, the 2016 Tignanello is a rock-solid wine and a stunning beauty. The wine offers an impeccable level of precision and laser-focus delivery of fruits, spices, tilled earth, espresso beans and Mediterranean herbs. This vintage follows the classic blending formula of 80% Sangiovese with about 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Cabernet Franc. The vines are now 15 to 20 years old. Compared to the 2015 vintage that ultimately appeared more chewy and succulent, this expression from the iconic 2016 vintage is more vibrant, nervous and jazzed. It shows more savory spice, saltiness and minerality, with a beautifully integrated quality of tannins. Some 320,000 bottles were produced. This wine is at the top of the list of some of the best Tignanello ever made, including the vintages 2007, 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2015.

Antinori - Tenuta Tignanello
La genèse de Tignanello – pour beaucoup le premier Super Toscan – remonte à 1971 et s’appuie encore aujourd’hui sur un assemblage originel de cabernet-sauvignon et de sangiovese. Niché dans les collines pittoresques entre les vallées des rivières Greve et Pesa, ce domaine de 350 hectares compte 147 hectares de vignes réparties sur l’aire d’appellation de Chianti Classico. Depuis le milieu du 19ème siècle, plus que toute autre, cette propriété mythique est restée fidèle aux valeurs de la famille Antinori : assurer l’union entre la tradition et la modernité à travers des vins authentiques qui symbolisent leur terroir. Protagoniste des vins toscans, Piero Antinori s’est fait remarquer par ses innovations et ses expérimentations sur le terrain. Il dirige le groupe Marchesi Antinori, secondé par ses trois filles. Tignanello est le berceau de deux vins les plus influents de tous les temps : le fleuron de la gamme, Solaia, et le premier Super Toscan, Tignanello. Ces deux cuvées emblématiques portent la signature Antinori en matière de qualité ; ils sont à la fois vifs et complexes et révèlent sans nul doute la présence de ce terroir unique.
