Definitions for "Tignanello"
High quality Italian red wine from Tuscany.
(tee-n'ya-nell'-oh) An Italian wine made in the Chianti region by the well known Antinori firm. Since its inception in 1971, this wine has broken tradition with the Chianti region and produced a wine of character that does not follow the rules. The wine tends to be mostly Sangiovese, as is Chianti, but without the white wine in the blend that softens Chianti. The addition of Cabernet Sauvignon takes this wine even further from its Chianti roots.
Tignanello is a red wine from Tuscany, Italy made by Marchesi Piero Antinori. Since 1982 it is made from Sangiovese (85%), Cabernet Sauvignon (10%) and Cabernet Franc (5%) grapes.
