Tuscany, ItalyTignanello is the original Super Tuscan. The 47 hectare vineyard at Antinori's Santa Cristina Estate uses 80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc to make this wine. Each variety is vinified separately before transferring to 225 litre French Alliers and Troncais barrels (new and one year old). Wines are racked, blended and then returned to barriques for another 14 months ageing.Tasted: 01 March 1999Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:
