The Wine
It was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, the first modern red wine blended with non-traditional varieties (such as Cabernet), and among the first red wines in Chianti Classico not to use white grapes. Tignanello is a milestone. It is produced with a selection of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and
Cabernet Franc.

The Design
The label was designed by Silvio Coppola in 1974, for the release of the 1971 vintage. It was at a 1973 dinner at Castello della Sala that Coppola's name came up. A graphic designer and designer, famous for his minimalist lamps, rigorous furniture, and the covers of many Feltrinelli books, Coppola was the right name for the job.

The Signature
Marquis Piero Antinori, the current Honorary President, decided to have his father, Niccolò Antinori, sign the Tignanello label as a sign of gratitude for the trust he had placed in him.

Tignanello Estate
Tignanello Estate
Tignanello Estate is located in the heart of Chianti Classico, on the rolling hills between the Greve and Pesa valleys. It extends over 319 hectares of land, with approximately 165 hectares of vineyards. Among its vineyards are two treasures: the Tignanello vineyard and the Solaia vineyard, which extend on the same hill, on soils derived from Pliocene marine marl with limestone and schist, and enjoy warm days and cool nights during the growing season.

The vineyards of the same name produce Solaia and Tignanello, which have been described by the international press as "among the most influential wines in the history of Italian winemaking." According to Marchesi Antinori, they represent a constant challenge and a never-ending passion.

Tenuta Tignanello's vineyards are composed primarily of the native Sangiovese grape and non-traditional varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
