2013 Marchesi Antinori Tignanello 1.5lt Magnum
The 2013 Marchesi Antinori Tignanello is an intense ruby red wine with purple highlights. It offers a rich bouquet of red fruits complemented by notes of vanilla, chocolate, and leather from oak aging. The wine features spicy and balsamic nuances that add complexity. On the palate, it is ample and enveloping with supple tannins and a refreshing savoriness that honors the Sangiovese grape. The balance of acidity and tannins is excellent, leading to a long and persistent finish. This wine has received high praise, earning 96 points from Robert Parker, 93 points from Falstaff, and 94 points from Wine Enthusiast. Tignanello is notable for being the first Sangiovese aged in barriques and for blending traditional and non-traditional grape varieties, specifically Cabernet. The estate, located in Chianti Classico, spans 319 hectares, with 130 hectares dedicated to vineyards. The 2013 vintage benefited from ideal weather conditions during the growing season, allowing grapes to ripen perfectly. The label was designed by Silvio Coppola in 1974, reflecting a minimalist aesthetic.
