Marchesi Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva Tignanello 2020 750ml
About Marchesi Antinori Tenuta Tignanello
The Antinori family’s Tenuta Tignanello is a gently hilly property located between that the family has owned since the 1800s. This... 321-acre Tuscan estate gets its name — Tignanello — from its most famous vineyard, but its vines grow the grapes for multiple wines. When Piero Antinori was searching to add his own voice to the Super-Tuscan revolution in the late 1960s, he turned to Giacomo Tachis, the consulting winemaker behind Sangiovese, as well as Ornellaia. Piero wanted to make wines that reflected his family’s Tuscan heritage, and in 1971, Tignanello, a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet, and Cabernet Franc, was born. Sporting marly, limestone-rich soils that show remnants of the Pliocene Period when the region was covered in an ocean, Tenuta Tignanello enjoys sunny days, cool nights, and a gentle breeze, ideal conditions for wines that sing with a true Tuscan voice. This estate is home to three of Antinori's crown jewels: Solaia, Tignanello, and Chianti Classico Riserva.

Marchesi Antinori Guado al Tasso Matarocchio IGT 2019 750ml
Tenuta Guado al Tasso Matarocchio 2019
So refined, so nuanced, so delineated, and so unbelievably good, the 2019 Matarocchio sets a new bar for Italian Cabernet Franc. The... 2019 growing season blessed Bolgheri’s Guado al Tasso with a temperate year, and this Mataracchio reflects its favorable vintage in its gleaming, sophisticated profile. Layers of brambly black and crisp red fruits layer with rose petals, pencil lead, blood orange zest, balsamic herbs, mocha, and mint in this utterly bewitching wine. Everything’s in its place here — power meets finesse, intensity meets detail, and primary juiciness meets savory underpinnings. Let this epic Cabernet Franc rest for a year or two, enjoy for decades, and remember for the rest of your life!
