Hidden Tuscany Rating
Antinori's Tignanello 2020, a Chianti Classico blending Sangiovese and Cabernets, awarded by Veronelli, Bibenda, AIS, Suckling and Parker. Its price brought down to €162.51 for 75 cl remains high for the appellation, and harvest and organic practices are not specified.
Chianti Classico named and Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc blend justified by the zone; but the Bordeaux grape varieties weigh heavily without the Sangiovese being highlighted.
Five distinctions named with their level: 3 stelle Veronelli, 4 viti AIS, 5 grappoli Bibenda, 90 James Suckling and 90 Robert Parker.
At €162.51 for 75 cl, the price remains high for a Chianti Classico, even though the large 1.5 L format and the crossed-out price of €415.77 are real.
Precise pairings (red meats, game, aged cheeses), detailed aromatic profile and serving at 16-18°C; one to two hours of aeration is recommended.
Antinori named and located in Chianti Classico, fermentation in steel, long maceration and 18 months of aging specified; harvest and organic practices not specified.

Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the history of wine is being rewritten. Tignanello 2020 is not just a simple wine; it is a bold statement, a vision that transformed the Italian wine landscape. It embodies elegance and power, a true symphony of flavors that instantly transports you.
This iconic wine comes from the Antinori estate, a family whose winemaking history goes back centuries. Tignanello was born within Chianti Classico, a prestigious appellation of Tuscany. It is the fruit of a bold blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, a combination that was revolutionary in its time.
Tignanello made its mark on its era by being the first Sangiovese aged in barriques, the first modern red wine to incorporate non-traditional grape varieties like Cabernet, and among the first Chianti Classico wines to ban white grape varieties from its blend. It is the result of fermentation in steel tanks followed by a long maceration, then 18 months of aging that refines its complexity. When tasting, you will discover an intense ruby red color. On the nose, its aroma is elegant and seductive, revealing notes of red fruits, spices, with hints of vanilla, wildflowers, leather, white chocolate and tobacco. On the palate, it proves full-bodied and harmonious, with soft tannins leading to a long, enveloping finish.
To fully appreciate this refined wine, I recommend letting it "breathe" for at least one to two hours before serving. It will pair wonderfully with characterful dishes. Think of flavorful red meats, game, or even aged cheeses. This Tignanello 2020 promises a tasting experience of excellence, an invitation to discover the deep flavors of Tuscany. Let yourself be seduced by this gem that is sure to leave a lasting impression during your special moments.
