Marchesi Antinori Tignanello Toscana IGT 2021 | (Magnum 1.5L)
The 2021 Tignanello vintage is poised to be an instant classic, marked by a growing season that offered superb balance, delivering both the power and the signature finesse this wine is known for. This is a monumental release of Italy's most influential wine, presented here in the collectible and cellar-worthy Magnum (1.5 Litre) format. A blend of approximately 80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc, the 2021 Tignanello showcases incredible complexity and depth. Expect a rich, dark ruby colour leading to a powerful bouquet of black cherry, cassis, tobacco leaf, and Mediterranean scrub. On the palate, the wine is structured yet remarkably elegant. Velvety, fine-grained tannins provide a seamless framework for concentrated flavors of ripe plum, liquorice, and cedar. The finish is extraordinarily long, lifted by Sangiovese's characteristic bright acidity, promising decades of magnificent evolution. A magnum is the ultimate collector's choice. The larger bottle contains less oxygen relative to the volume of wine, ensuring a slower, more deliberate, and more harmonious ageing process. This 1.5L format is guaranteed to reach its peak maturity well beyond the standard 75cl bottle, making it an essential centerpiece for celebrations or a prized addition to any serious cellar. The 2021 Tignanello vintage is built for the long haul. We recommend cellaring this magnum for at least 5-7 years post-release to allow its full potential to emerge.
