The Legendary Tignanello Estate

First introduced under the Tignanello name with the 1971 vintage, this groundbreaking wine helped redefine modern Italian winemaking.

Tignanello was among the first celebrated Tuscan red wines to combine traditional Sangiovese with international Cabernet varieties, helping establish the prestigious Super Tuscan category.

The wine originates exclusively from the 77-hectare Tignanello vineyard, situated approximately 350–400 meters above sea level on limestone-rich soils.

The estate's distinctive terroir provides the foundation for Tignanello's remarkable concentration, elegance, and aging potential.

The Exceptional 2017 Vintage

The 2017 growing season was characterized by unusually warm and dry conditions throughout much of the summer.

September rainfall provided welcome relief, allowing the grapes to achieve excellent ripeness while preserving freshness and balance.

Careful vineyard selection and meticulous winemaking resulted in a deeply expressive wine with concentrated fruit, supple tannins, and remarkable aromatic complexity.

Following fermentation, Tignanello matured in French and Hungarian oak barrels before additional bottle aging prior to release.
