Tignanello by Marchesi Antinori is a myth of Italian wine: the first barrique aged and the first assembly with non-traditional varieties. Over 80% Sangiovese, completed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, matured and aged in wooden barriques for 12 months and then in bottle for a year. A fascinating work of art that continues to amaze enthusiasts from all over the world.
