Produced entirely from the Tenuta Tignanello estate in the Chianti Classico hills between the Greve and Pesa valleys, the wine is crafted from a blend of approximately 80% Sangiovese with small portions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The vineyard’s calcareous and marl-rich soils sit at an elevation of 350–400 metres, offering ideal drainage and temperature variation for slow, even ripening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"616\" data-end=\"1061\"\u003eThe 2015 growing season was defined by a warm, balanced climate with cool nights during ripening, producing grapes of exceptional concentration and aromatic precision. Fermentation took place in conical stainless steel tanks, allowing gentle extraction and fine-grained tannin structure. Maturation followed for around 14 months in a mix of new and once-used French and Hungarian oak barrels, with each variety aged separately before blending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1063\" data-end=\"1388\"\u003eIn the glass, Tignanello 2015 expresses a seamless interplay between power and elegance. An articulation of Sangiovese’s purity framed by Cabernet’s structure. It reflects the Antinori family’s philosophy of respecting tradition while pursuing innovation, a vision that has defined this wine since its first release in 1971.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1390\" data-end=\"1550\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1390\" data-end=\"1407\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1407\" data-end=\"1410\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1410\" data-end=\"1418\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1418\" data-end=\"1421\"\u003e– Dark Fruit \u0026amp; Spice\u003cbr data-start=\"1441\" data-end=\"1444\"\u003eAromas of ripe black cherry, cassis, and plum meet sandalwood, cedar, dark chocolate, and sweet tobacco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1552\" data-end=\"1709\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1552\" data-end=\"1562\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1562\" data-end=\"1565\"\u003e– Rich \u0026amp; Polished\u003cbr data-start=\"1582\" data-end=\"1585\"\u003eSilky tannins and bright acidity frame layers of blackberry, black cherry, spice, and graphite with a subtle mineral core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1711\" data-end=\"1834\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1711\" data-end=\"1721\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1721\" data-end=\"1724\"\u003e– Persistent \u0026amp; Complex\u003cbr data-start=\"1746\" data-end=\"1749\"\u003eLong and detailed, the finish lingers with refined tannins and a vibrant freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1836\" data-end=\"2099\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1836\" data-end=\"1859\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1859\" data-end=\"1862\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1862\" data-end=\"2072\"\u003e“Fantastic aromas of dark berries, sandalwood and Spanish cedar that are ever so deep.
