    Marchesi Antinori Tignanello 2021

    4.8 ★ · 223 Google Reviews
    • Toscana IGT · 50th Anniversary Vintage

      In 1971, Piero Antinori broke every rule of Tuscan winemaking by blending Sangiovese with Cabernet — creating the wine that basically invented the Super Tuscan category. The 2021 marks fifty years of it.

      Created by Piero Antinori with winemaker Giacomo Tachis and Bordeaux enologist Émile Peynaud, Tignanello broke with tradition by blending international Cabernet varieties into a Chianti Classico-zone Sangiovese base — so unconventional it couldn't even carry the Chianti name, effectively defining an entirely new category of Italian wine.

      Questions

      Why is it called a "Super Tuscan" rather than Chianti?
      Because it includes non-traditional grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc alongside Sangiovese, Italian wine law at the time didn't allow it to carry the Chianti Classico name — so it was released under the simpler Toscana designation instead, a workaround that effectively created a new category of Italian wine.
      What makes the 2021 vintage significant?
      It marks Tignanello's 50th anniversary since the first 1971 release, and Antinori's own head winemaker Renzo Cotarella has called it one of his best vintages in a long career.
      How long can this wine age?
      With proper storage, critics expect it to continue developing well into the 2030s — it's built for long-term cellaring as much as drinking now.
