Parker about Tignanello 2018
This wine brought to mind the precise imagery of tailcoats, striped dress pants, wingtip collar shirts and other gentlemen's fashion choices from the Roaring Twenties. Sporting a retro but classic personality, the Marchesi Antinori 2018 Tignanello is quite the dapper and jovial wine that hits the market just as much of the world is emerging from a dark chapter of lockdowns and coronavirus curfews. I love the optimism that springs bright with such clarity and detail from within this blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The 2016 vintage was a benchmark for sure, but I prefer the 2018, thanks to that tinge of nostalgia or emotion that is so deftly rendered in this cool, long growing season.

2018 Tignanello Rosso di Toscana IGT Marchesi Antinori
The Tignanello 2018 comes from a rather cooler vintage for Tuscany.
The 98 points from Parker underscore how well this suits it. No Tignanello vintage has ever been rated higher.
A wine full of vitality and freshness, reminiscent of the great vintages of the 90s.

Marchesi Antinori
Information about the winemaker:
Wine lovers prick up their ears at the graceful sound of the name "Antinori". Because hardly any other family has shaped Italian winemaking history as strongly as the noble family with its headquarters in Florence. For more than six centuries, the noble family has stood for premium quality drops of pleasure.
