Antinori 2022 Tignanello Toscana

Antinori’s 2022 Tignanello Toscana opens with an intense ruby hue edged by purple highlights and a lifted aromatic profile of red and black cherries, pomegranate, violets, and subtle balsamic tones, accented by hints of vanilla and cotton candy from aging in predominantly new French and Hungarian oak. On the palate, it shows a supple yet powerful structure, balancing dense, ripe fruit with savory tannins and excellent freshness, finishing long with echoing floral, fruity, and balsamic nuances. Additional impressions from critics describe bright red cherry, blackberry, plum, tea leaf, and raw leather notes, with firm but well‑integrated tannins and a long, complex finish that evolves beautifully with air. Other reviewers highlight violet and kirsch over plush blackberries, cedar, tobacco, bitter cocoa, and liquorice, all supported by excellent acidity and mid‑palate concentration, suggesting both immediate charm and long aging potential. This vintage pairs naturally with Tuscan classics such as bistecca alla fiorentina, wild boar ragù, truffle‑infused pasta, aged pecorino, or herb‑roasted lamb, dishes that complement its Sangiovese‑driven brightness and Cabernet‑based depth.
