Descripción
Tignanello, produced by the Antinori winery, is a still red wine that enjoys the Tuscan IGT designation. It is an unconventional wine, considering that it was the first to be blended using non-traditional methods, without the inclusion of white grapes. The grapes come from vines that are 85% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc. Careful climatic conditions are required for all three varieties during the harvest. Fermentation takes place at a temperature of around 27 degrees Celsius, never rising above 31 degrees, so as to preserve the organoleptic properties of the three grapes. The fermentation is initially alcoholic, after which the wines are placed in new oak barrels, where a second malolactic fermentation takes place to reduce acidity. Aging takes place in barriques for 12 months. After this period, the wine is bottled, where it rests for another year. Tignanello is born in Tuscany, more precisely in the vineyard of the same name, located on the Tigneto estate at an altitude of between 350 and 400 meters, covering an area of over 47 hectares. The soil is calcareous in origin, with numerous tuffaceous components, which contribute to giving the wine its unique characteristics, including its longevity (approximately 25 years). The validity of Tignanello wine has also been recognized by Bibenda and Gambero Rosso, who awarded it 5 bunches and three glasses respectively, synonymous with wine excellence.

Sin embargo, fue con el siglo XVI cuando Alessandro Antinori, banquero y comerciante, dio a conocer el vino de sus fincas tanto en Italia como en el extranjero, viajando de Lyon a Flandes, de España a Argel.
El vino siguió siendo la pasión y la actividad principal de la familia hasta el punto de que en 1898 se fundó la "Fattoria dei Marchesi Lodovico e Piero Antinori" por los dos hermanos Lodovico y Piero, hijos del marqués Niccolò - descendiente directo de aquel Niccolò que en 1506 había comprado el Palazzo Antinori y que ya había hecho mucho por dar a conocer los vinos toscanos en todo el mundo y convertirlos en un producto de alta calidad. Durante 26 generaciones, la familia Antinori ha continuado esa historia. En 2023, a principios de febrero, Villa Antinori Toscana IGT 2019 fue nombrado el tercer vino del mundo, el único italiano, en el Top 10 Values 2022 de Wine Specator: la lista de los 10 vinos que, según la revista estadounidense, representan la excelencia mundial en términos de relación calidad-precio.
