Antinori | Tignanello Toscana IGT 2017

Der Tignanello ist eine der Ikonen Italiens und der Toskana. Anfang der 1970er Jahre vom Önologen Giacomo Tachis kreiert zählt er neben dem ebenfalls von Tachis entwickeltem Sassicaia zu den ersten Supertuscan Weinen überhaupt.

 

Der 2017er kommt in tiefdunklem Rubinrot ins Glas. Elegant in der Nase mit Aromen von dunklen Amarenakirschen, dunkle Johannisbeere, Gewürze wie schwarzer Pfeffer, ein Hauch Nelke.

Langer und tiefgründiger Abgang.

 

PARKER ÜBER:
Tignanello 2017                            96/100

Parker: "The Marchesi Antinori 2017 Tignanello (made with Sangiovese and smaller parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc) is a dark, exuberant and inviting wine. I tasted my sample after a double decanting and was pleased by the profound nature of the wine and the immediate openness of the aromas. There is a symphony of dark fruit with black cherry, plum, spice and sweet tobacco. I am particularly attracted by a distant hint of medicinal or menthol herb that I also discovered in other wines with fruit from the Tignanello estate in 2017. There's a drying mineral note of crushed chalk as well. The heat and dryness of the vintage has added to the aromatic intensity of the wine (yields were reduced by a third), but the mouthfeel is carefully crafted to maintain its softness and smoothness. Fruit comes from a 57-hectare section of the Tenuta Tignanello from a vineyard that is located 390 meters above sea level with Alberese limestone rock and soils of marine origin. The wine is fermented in conical oak tanks and is aged up to 16 months in a combination of mostly French and some Hungarian oak, both new and neutral. Some 300,000 bottles were released in April 2020 after one year of bottle age. 96/100"

 

SUCKLING ÜBER:
Tignanello 2017                         96/100

Suckling: "A dense, really pinpointed red with plums and hazelnuts. Full-bodied and very polished with fine, creamy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Shows real finesse for the vintage. Better after 2023, but already a joy to taste. 96/100"

 

GALLONI / VINOUS ÜBER:
Tignanello 2017                        95+/100

Galloni: "The 2017 Tignanello is dense, exotic and flamboyant. Red berry fruit, cherries in liqueur, blood orange, wild flowers and sweet spice are front and center in this sumptuous, racy Tignanello that is likely to drink beautifully right out of the gate. The Antinori team has done a terrific job with the 2017, a year in which heat and dry weather took with them 30% of the production. 95+/100"
