History
Launched by Piero Antinori in 1971 to break the Chianti Classico rules, Tignanello was among the first to blend Cabernet and use barriques. Today produced at Montefiridolfi and Santa Maria a Macerata, the 2022 vintage—shaped by a warm climate and strict selection—reflects the family’s dedication to quality and innovation.
