Parker about Tignanello Magnum 2021
First made in 1971, this legendary Italian wine now celebrates its 50th birthday. Happy Birthday, Tignanello! The Marchesi Antinori 2021 Tignanello (made with 79% Sangiovese, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc) pulls on all the heartstrings. To be released in May, the wine shows a quintessentially pretty taste profile with tart fruit flavors, redcurrant, tea leaf, heritage rose, crushed white pepper, licorice, nutmeg, clove and chopped mint. It slowly opens to reveal more richness and exuberance with time, becoming downright voluptuous and heady a short while later. The through line, however, remains the bright freshness and minerality of Sangiovese. Compared to the 2018 vintage (which I also loved), this vintage has more overall fruit weight and volume.

Tignanello Magnum 2021

Marchesi Antinori's 2021 Tignanello presents itself in an intense ruby red with purple reflections. On the nose, it unfolds a complex bouquet with notes of ripe plums, blackberries, and candied orange peel, complemented by hints of dark chocolate, caramel, licorice, and sweet tobacco. On the palate, the wine is rich and elegant, with soft, lively tannins and a long, harmonious finish. Futuro Antico

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.
