It is created from a \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and is famous for being the first modern blend from the region conceived without the use of white grapes. The glass, with its intense ruby red colour, releases elegant aromas of cherry, violet and balsamic notes. On the palate, it offers a dense and dynamic structure, supported by \u003cstrong\u003esweet tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and a vibrant freshness, finishing with a long \u003cstrong\u003epersistent finish\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come exclusively from the \u003cstrong\u003eTignanello vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e, located in the heart of Chianti Classico. Situated between 350 and 400 metres above sea level with a south-west exposure, the vines benefit from a microclimate characterised by warm days and cool nights. The \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, rich in alberese, galestro and marine marl, impart a distinctive concentration to the grapes.

Macerations are managed through daily tastings to ensure balanced extraction.

Ageing continues in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench and Hungarian barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e in separate lots for over thirteen months; the different parcels are finally combined in the definitive \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e for a crucial \u003cstrong\u003erest in the bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTignanello by Marchesi Antinori is a \u003cstrong\u003epioneering wine\u003c\/strong\u003e that has profoundly influenced the history of Tuscan oenology.

Its iconic label displays the family crest, the stylised sun, and the signature of Niccolò Antinori: a visual prelude to an excellence celebrated by the \u003cstrong\u003eextraordinary scores\u003c\/strong\u003e of Wine Advocate and Gambero Rosso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tignanello (Antinori)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46299531837611,"sku":"60737","price":631.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/marchesi-antinori-tignanello-doppio-magnum-2023_60737_1_c308cf43-213e-44a9-97a8-36e04f74ae93.webp?v=1782144597","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-uk\/products\/marchesi-antinori-tignanello-doppio-magnum-2023","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
