The Marchesi Antinori 2019 Tignanello was born in a classic growing season that saw some cooling summer rains and relatively stress-free conditions. This is an elegant and extremely polished wine made with mostly Sangiovese and smaller parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Here too the small blending element of Cabernet Franc has been slowly increasing in recent years. The 2019 vintage was born with a good amount of power and tannic structure and maceration times were slightly reduced as a result. This less extractive approach shapes a polished and elegant wine with plenty of bright berry fruit cherry dried mint blue flower blood orange and rusty earth. The palate is more compact and streamlined. It shows beautiful grace. After this the next vintage to watch is the highly anticipated 2021.

A supple elegant red highlighted by bright cherry black currant violet tobacco iron and oak spice aromas and flavors. Though fluid and seemingly approachable now this is well-structured and shows the balance to age. Fine length. Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2025 through 2042. 25800 cases made 5000 cases imported.

Extremely perfumed and vivi
Vinous: 95 Points
The 2019 Tignanello is one of the most reserved understated young wines I can remember tasting here. In so many vintages Tignanello is quite showy but in 2019 the nervous energy and brightness of Sangiovese takes center stage. That?s intriguing because the 2019 blend has a bit more Cabernet Sauvignon
