Tignanello is a ‘Super Tuscan’ red wine first created in the 1970s by the prestigious wine producer Marchesi Antinori. Tignanello holds historical significance as the first in the region to blend Sangiovese with non-traditional international varieties and exclude white grapes. The 1996 vintage is at its peak now, offering up notes of stewed black cherries, leather, cinnamon, antique wooden furniture and pencil shavings. Drink now.
