Produced exclusively from the 57-hectare vineyard which gives the wine its name, Tignanello has been produced by the Antinori family since 1970. The family itself has been involved in the production of wine in Tuscany since 1385, when Giovanni di Piero Antinori became a member of the Arte Florentina, the Winemakers Guild of Florence. Today the winery is run by Marquis Piero Antinori, with the support of his three daughters Albiera, Allegra and Alessia.

Graphite, smoke and tobacco vie with cherry fruit. Firm tannin and lively, spice-etched acidity brings the whole experience together on the finish, drink 2017-2027.

Red meat, goose or veal; complex stews and aged hard cheese.

The exceptional, cool growing season, which suits the style of Tignanello, coupled with a slight change in winemaking to use larger, less influential barrels, has produced a superb 'Tig' for 2013.
