Box of Tignanello bottles

Tignanello is the name that was given in the 1970s to a new wine produced by the ancient house of Antinori (wine producers since 1385)[1] and takes its name from the Tenuta di Tignanello production area in the town of San Casciano in Val di Pesa. Made in 1971, Tignanello was one of the first red wines produced in the area without white grapes,[2] and with the cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc grape varieties. Tignanello is regarded as an innovative pioneer of the modern Italian top wines, the so-called Super Tuscans, and has decisively shaped Italian viticulture.
