Tignanello is the wine that launched the whole Super Tuscan movement, the first Sangiovese aged in barrique and blended with Cabernet rather than following Chianti rules. The 2016 is one of the finest recent vintages, a warm season with no big heat spikes that gave even ripening and real harmony. It comes entirely from the 57-hectare Tignanello vineyard, limestone-rich soils on southwest-facing slopes at 350 to 400 meters, and the blend is about 80% Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc rounding it out. Drinking well now but built to age. A modern Italian classic from a great year.

"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." —Antonio Galloni

"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." —Monica Larner

"Those Bordeaux varieties play a significant role on the nose, lending strong blackcurrant fruit on the palate, combining beautifully with the black cherry and violet of the Sangiovese. There's plenty of acidity on the palate, succulent oak and youthful black fruit with superb persistence. Just a hint of leather and liquorice on the finish (which increases as the wine develops in the glass), and perhaps a medicinal sort of character too. Very finely tannic. Perfectly chiselled, with impeccable fruit to enjoy now, but a great deal of complexity waiting for the future."

"There is something extra in the quality of the black cherry and black currant fruit, accented by violet, mineral and oak spice hints. Shows superb energy and a refined structure. Very intense, complex and long."

"Underbrush, plum, blue flower, cocoa and balsamic notes are just some of the aromas you’ll find on this fragrant, savory red. Polished and delicious, it boasts an earthy finesse and is loaded with personality, doling out juicy Marasca cherry, ripe blackberry, licorice, tobacco and an appealing hint of game that imparts even more depth. Silky tannins and bright acidity keep it balanced and supremely elegant. It’s already tempting but will also age beautifully. Drink 2021 through 2036." —Kerin O'Keefe

More about Antinori

Antinori traces its story back to 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Guild of Winemakers in Florence. Today, the 26th generation (led by Marquis Piero and his three daughters) oversees 20 million bottles annually across 150 labels from estates in Montalcino, Bolgheri, and Chianti Classico. They literally engineered the Super-Tuscan revolution with Tignanello in the '70s. This is a family that doesn't just make wine—it shapes the entire conversation around what Italian wine can be.
