Antinori
Tignanello 2022
Tuscany, Italy
Few wines have altered the course of Italian winemaking as profoundly as Tignanello. Born on a sunlit hillside in the heart of Chianti Classico, this legendary bottling challenged tradition at a time when convention ruled. The 2022 Tignanello offers a modern expression of that breakthrough, shaped by decades of vision and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
That transformation took shape through deliberate and radical choices. Tignanello was among the first Tuscan wines to age Sangiovese in small oak barrels and to incorporate Bordeaux varieties, decisions that challenged prevailing doctrine and unlocked new layers of depth and precision. Together, these choices established a style that balanced tradition with innovation and set a new global benchmark.
The 2022 vintage brings that pioneering spirit into sharp focus. An extended growing season allowed the fruit to reach full maturity, resulting in a wine defined by balance rather than force. Sangiovese leads with energy and structure, while Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc add dimension and contour. Aged for sixteen months in French and Hungarian oak, the wine emerges layered and composed, its power carried with ease by polished perfection.

“Rich and fruit-forward, the Marchesi Antinori 2022 Tignanello very much respects the vintage that tends to deliver more concentration and volume overall. It delivers extra fruit weight with a velvety, satiny feel over a generous mouthfeel. Tignanello offers blackcurrant and cherry, but there is a mineral note that keeps things focused. This is a beautiful expression of the vintage, with excellent work done to execute soft tannins, texture and length.”
