Est. delivery end of October, 2026 We think of Tignanello as the estate that taught Tuscany to break its own rules, and this Chianti Classico Riserva is the family making peace with the appellation it once abandoned. Grown on the very same hillside as its super-Tuscan sibling, the wine folds a generous dose of Cabernet into Sangiovese's backbone, giving a Chianti Classico Riserva with real swagger rather than rustic charm. The 2022 vintage, warm and compact, has delivered ripe fruit without losing the savoury grip that makes this estate's wines worth arguing about. Expect dark cherry, bay leaf, and a graphite-like minerality running underneath, with tannins that are firm but polished rather than aggressive. This is a wine with Antinori's fingerprints all over it: confident, international in outlook, yet unmistakably Tuscan at heart.
